Guidelines for Using GPS Tracking in Criminal Investigations

 
Electronic surveillance, including expanded use of GPS tracking, has become a widely used law enforcement tool in criminal investigations. The rules regarding admissibility of this evidence in criminal trials are still in flux. The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in United States v. Jones raises more questions than it answers regarding the applicability of settled Fourth Amendment principles to evidence obtained through use of a GPS tracking device. This OnDemand Webinar will help those individuals involved in conducting federal and state criminal investigations and those responsible for developing policies and procedures regarding electronic surveillance activities to better understand the current state of the law as it applies to electronic surveillance techniques. This program will also address changing legal and societal views regarding reasonable privacy expectations in the context of digital information to help criminal investigators assess Fourth Amendment issues before conducting a search rather than after the fact. Failing to understand and anticipate the complexities of privacy interests applicable to digital information can result in vital evidence being suppressed and convictions reversed or overturned. This program will provide practical advice to anyone involved in the electronic surveillance process regarding the pitfalls that exist and best practices to avoid them, thereby minimizing unexpected and unwanted outcomes at trial.
