CA11: No standing in geofence warrant for girlfriend’s cell phone location

Defendant lacks standing to challenge a geofence warrant directed at his girlfriend’s cell phone. “Davis lacks Fourth Amendment standing to challenge the geofence warrant because the search did not disclose any information about the data on his own electronic device, reflected only his limited movements in public areas, and did not encompass his home.” United States v. Davis, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 18803 (11th Cir. July 30, 2024).

Officers with a warrant for evidence of fraud could search defendant’s backpack in his apartment. United States v. Lewis, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 133963 (D.D.C. July 29, 2024).*

Defendants that had nothing to do with plaintiff’s search can’t be sued for it. Sullivan v. Hamilton Cty. Court of Common Pleas, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 18747 (6th Cir. July 29, 2024).*

The officer corroborated enough of the informant’s tale to satisfy Aguilar-Spinelli. People v. Elliot, 2024 NYLJ LEXIS 2429 (Kings Co. July 24, 2024).*
