The GPS tracker indicated that it was at the intersection of Kimberly and Spring. Martin argues the GPS was unreliable. In support, he points to cases in which courts heard testimony about the reliability and accuracy of GPS devices. See United States v. Brooks, 715 F.3d 1069, 1077-78 (8th Cir. 2013); United States v. Espinal-Almeida, 699 F.3d 588, 610-12 (1st Cir. 2012). But those cases are about the admission of the data at trial and do not address whether officers in the field can rely on third-party GPS data while pursuing suspects. Considering the tight window of opportunity officers have to locate a fleeing suspect, we find it reasonable for police to rely on third-party GPS data.<\/p><p>Other factors also supported the officers&#8217; suspicion. \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GPS information as to defendant\u2019s location can be reasonable suspicion despite defendant\u2019s claims it might not be admissible at trial.
