GA: CSLI lawfully obtained in 2013 was subject to GFE

The acquisition of defendant’s CSLI in 2013 followed law at the time and was reasonable, and the good faith exception applied. Carpenter came four years after the trial. Lofton v. State, 2021 Ga. LEXIS 28 (Feb. 15, 2021).

The officers had reasonable suspicion to stop and detain defendant because, as they approached, they could smell marijuana ostensibly coming from his blunt. United States v. Watson, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 27276 (S.D. N.Y. Feb. 11, 2021).*

Defense counsel wasn’t ineffective for not moving to suppress information from Facebook and an allegedly overbroad warrant for information where location information when posts were made was all that was at issue. Appellant cites no authority that the search was anything but good faith under existing law. Hurston v. State, 2021 Ga. LEXIS 26 (Feb. 16, 2021).*
