Hammond v. United States
Petition for certiorari denied on April 25, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether a government agent’s direction to a wireless carrier to send a signal to a person’s phone, so
that the phone reveals the person’s precise location
and movements in real time, is a search within the
meaning of the Fourth Amendment; and (2) whether a government agent’s good faith but objectively incorrect reading of a statute prevents the exclusion of constitutionally tainted evidence in a criminal trial.
