Chatrie<\/a> by Orin Kerr:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Judge Lauck of the Eastern District of Virginia recently handed down the long-awaited opinion in United States v. Chatrie, on how the Fourth Amendment applies to geofencing warrants. I believe this is the first Article III judicial opinion on the subject. Geofence warrants raise some really interesting Fourth Amendment issues, and we&#8217;re likely to hear more about those issues. Given that, I thought I would offer my take on the opinion.<\/p><p>My reaction, unfortunately, is pretty critical. I really appreciate the care Judge Lauck put into the case, including building an extensive record. But I also think the reasoning of the decision has some major problems. In particular, I am not sure the execution of geofence warrants involve a Fourth Amendment search at all. And if they do, then I think the Fourth Amendment standard is a lot less strict than Judge Lauck concludes it is.<\/p><p>This post explains my concerns. &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reason: The Fourth Amendment and Geofence Warrants: A Critical Look at United States v.
