CA2: More regular home visits of sex offenders to verify information reasonable under “special needs”

Suffolk County contracted with a private non-profit to verify registered sex offenders’ addresses, and that required home visits. Plaintiff sued for violation of the Fourth Amendment. The court holds that their actions were permitted under the “special needs” exception because it insures the accuracy of the registry. Jones v. County of Suffolk, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 26649 (2d Cir. Sept. 4, 2019).

The court has already held in this case that cell phone pings by order based on exigency were valid. Therefore, they could be included in a later CSLI request. United States v. Andrews, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 150579 (D. Minn. Aug. 9, 2019).*
