Anyone have hot sentencing takes on the Supreme Court's big Fourth Amendment Carpenter case being argued today?
Folks interested in both criminal law and technology have been buzzing about the case Carpenter v. United States for quite some time. Today, finally, the Supreme Court hears oral argument on this basic issue: "Whether the warrantless seizure and search of historical cellphone records revealing the location and movements of a cellphone user over the course of 127 days is permitted by the Fourth Amendment."
As they do so well, the folks at SCOTUSblog provide lots of helpful background and coverage though this case page with all the briefs linked, this preview by Amy Howe, and this on-line summer symposium. And I expect SCOTUSblog will have lots of post-argument analysis this afternoon and in the days ahead, especially if this morning's oral argument is as interesting as everyone expects.
I have not blogged about the Carpenter case in part because it is well covered by many others and in part because the sentencing echoes of the case may be remote. But practitioners may see more direct connections between Carpenter and sentencing than I see from the ivory tower, and I welcome this morning any and all "hot takes" on the case as it might relate to any and all sentencing stories.
