Chatrie v United States
This case has been granted certiorari by the US Supreme Court.
1. Is a request for Google's records of all people within a certain area at a certain time a search under the 4th amendment?
2. If so, is such a warrant "particular" enough that it can be granted at all? Can there be "probable cause" for such a warrant?
The Fifth Circuit had earlier issued a ruling that greatly limited geofence warrants. Chatrie's case is in the Fourth Circuit, which also issued a somewhat ambiguous en banc ruling but basically allowed Chatrie's conviction to stand.
Automatic License Plate Reader data
A state court in Skagit County, Washington ruled in November 2025 that ALPR data collected by or on behalf of the police qualified as public data, and so subject to public records accessibility laws. The cameras were managed by the Flock company.
