On appeal, Skinner argued that the warrantless GPS phone tracking violated his Fourth Amendment rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Arstechnica.com: <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2012\/09\/groups-seek-to-overturn-ruling-allowing-warrantless-phone-tracking\/\">Groups seek to overturn ruling allowing warrantless phone tracking \/ ACLU says decision misunderstands cell technology and Supreme Court precedent<\/a> by Timothy B.
