The Justice Department has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the use of GPS tracking devices on suspect vehicles without a warrant is allowed under the Fourth Amendment.

The DOJ, in a 121-page brief filed on Friday, argued a D.C. appellate court got it wrong when it upheld a lower court's decision to overturn the conviction of Antoine Jones for running a drug ring in D.C.

Federal agents had attached a GPS tracking device to Jones' vehicle, and used its movements as key evidence in the case. In the brief, the DOJ argues agents attained a warrant good for 10 days, and installed the tracker on the 11th day.

Sounds like a 'no-brainer' to me...and that the lower courts got it 'right', since the criminal did not consent to a search and absent consent no warrant was in effect to allow the search. The 'end'; ie, the conviction, does not justify the means under which the intelligence was gathered...IMHO.
