For cell phone users to use certain services, their cell phones must continuously transmit their exact locations to their service providers. A geofence warrant allows law enforcement to obtain, from the service provider, the identities of users who were in the vicinity of a particular location at a particular time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, law enforcement obtained, and served on Google, a geofence warrant seeking anonymized location data for every device within 150 meters of the location of a bank robbery within one hour of the robbery. After Google returned an initial list, law enforcement sought\u2014 without seeking an additional warrant\u2014information about the movements of certain devices for a longer, two-hour period, and Google complied with that request as well. Then\u2014again without seeking an additional warrant\u2014law enforcement requested de-anonymized subscriber information for three devices. One of those devices belonged to petitioner Okello Chatrie. Based on the evidence derived from the geofence warrant, petitioner was convicted of armed robbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The questions presented are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether the execution of the geofence warrant violated the Fourth Amendment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the exclusionary rule should apply to the evidence derived from the geofence warrant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chatrie v.
