Privacy rights victory in cell phone search

United States Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of the privacy rights of individuals. The Government, without a warrant or a showing of probable cause, issued an order to a cell phone company to provide accused's  cell site data. The Government sought to gather the extensive records, including the location of his phones. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, found that Mr. Carpenter had a privacy right in his phone records. For the Government to seize these records, the Government needed to present to a magistrate a warrant based on sworn testimony establishing probable cause.

If you are the target of an investigation and believe that your privacy rights have been violated call the Cobb County Law Office of Kenneth R. Croy for a consultation.
