The brief doesn\u2019t really have much to do with GPS surveillance, but it\u2019s interesting that it advocates a rejection of privacy as a Fourth Amendment guide and a return to property as a guide \u2014 including back to the common law \u201cmere evidence\u201d rule, by which the government cannot get a warrant to obtain mere evidence. If I understand the brief, then, the amici are not arguing that a warrant should be required for GPS surveillance: Rather, they are arguing that GPS surveillance should never be allowed even if the police have probable cause and a warrant.
