After a spate of different rulings across the country on whether or not the feds can attack GPS tracking devices to a person's vehicle without a warrant, one case is finally making it to the Supreme Court. Antoine Jones, a former club owner in Washington DC whom police suspected of running a drug ring. Police actually did obtain a warrant in this case, but placed the tracker onto Jones' car after the warrant had expired, and then monitored his activities for a month. At question is the 4th amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure. Could this case be a game changer or just a drop in the bucket when it comes to constant surveillance, by both private and public actors? Cato's Julian Sanchez discusses.
