CA10: For pre-Jones GPS good faith to apply, Knotts and Karo are enough

In a pre-Jones GPS case, even though there was no authority from this circuit, two SCOTUS cases seemingly authorized warrantless GPS: Knotts (1983) and Karo (1984). Thus, the Davis good faith exception would be applied. “We also note that several of our sister circuits have held the good-faith exception applicable under similar circumstances. See, e.g., United States v. Holt, 777 F.3d 1234, 1258-59 (11th Cir. 2015); United States v. Taylor, 776 F.3d 513, 517-19 (7th Cir. 2015) (per curiam); Katzin, 769 F.3d at 173-77 (en banc); United States v. Stephens, 764 F.3d 327, 336-39 (4th Cir. 2014); United States v. Fisher, 745 F.3d 200, 203-06 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 676 (2014); United States v. Aguiar, 737 F.3d 251, 261-62 (2d Cir. 2013), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 400 (2014); United States v. Sparks, 711 F.3d 58, 62-68 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 134 S. Ct. 204 (2013); United States v. Andres, 703 F.3d 828, 834-35 (5th Cir. 2013); United States v. Pineda-Moreno, 688 F.3d 1087, 1090-91 (9th Cir. 2012).” United States v. Hohn, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 5226 (10th Cir. April 1, 2015).
