Consequently, many Americans are beginning to inquire what does the 4th Amendment’s guarantee against “unreasonable searches and seizure” mean in light of the technological advances in investigative technology? Where does the Supreme Court stand in light of the U.S. v. Jones case on GPS transponders and the Florence v. Board of Elected Freeholders case regarding the legality of strip searches?
