Electronic Surveillance: Valid Evidence or Unconscionable Invasion of Privacy?
2012-10-26
Anyone who has ever seen a movie about the mob or watched a few episodes of "Law & Order" is probably familiar with the practice of electronic surveillance. That being said, though, Hollywood is focused on a compelling story, not about conveying the laws behind evidence-gathering practices and bringing criminal charges. Due in no small part to the prevalence of electronic surveillance in television shows and movies, most people think that all the police have to do is either set up a hidden camera or plant a "bug" in someone's phone before sitting ...
No Expectation of Privacy When Using a Cell Phone
2012-10-26
The Fourth Amendment protects Americans from unlawful searches and seizures. Among other things, this means that if law enforcement suspects someone of a crime, they need a probable-cause warrant before they can search a person's home, car or otherwise invade their privacy.
But this does not seem to be the case for tracking cell phone GPS activity. A recent 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision held that law enforcement does not need a warrant to track a person through cell phone GPS signals. In the case, the DEA suspected a man of drug trafficking. They learned ...

2012-10-26
A variety of legal issues can influence the criminal defense strategy in any drug crimes case, from suppression of evidence to technical arguments about the nature or quantity of controlled substances. A recent South Carolina case involving charges of a drug trafficking conspiracy was finally resolved based on unconstitutional limits on the defendant's right to confront his accusers.
In State v. Gracely, the Supreme Court of South Carolina overturned a conviction for conspiracy to traffic a large quantity of illegal drugs. The basis for the reversal was the defendant's ...
