CJ302 WEEK 2 DQ

Reasonable Suspicion

Police suspect a convicted felon is selling drugs at his place of business, so they install a gps device on his car without first obtaining a warrant. They believe because they are tracking his movements on public streets a warrant isn’t necessary.

Do you think this violates the Fourth Amendment?

Would your answer change if the police used the information to discover a large amount of illegal drugs in his possession?
