    Respondent Jones was a subject of a Government investigation in part of a much larger drug trafficking conspiracy. As part of the investigation, FBI agents had obtained a court order to place a GPS tracking device on a vehicle driven by Jones – a Jeep registered to Jone's wife. The court order was issued in the District of Columbia and was set to expire 10 days after it was signed by the judge. On Day 11, the Government attached the GPS device underneath the carriage of the Jeep on a public roadway in Maryland. Effectively, the government was acting outside of its authorization. The device reported GPS tracker data for 28 days after the installation to a Government computer, providing location information for several weeks.
