Summary of the Case: In Carpenter v. United States, the Fourth Amendment was examined by the Supreme Court to see if it permits authorities to get mobile phone location records that show a person's whereabouts and movements over 127 days without a warrant. The information was provided by Carpenter's cellular service provider after Timothy Carpenter's phone was monitored by Detroit police in 2011 (Carpenter V. United States). These data allowed them to keep track of Carpenter's movements over a four-month period. Using information from such databases, Carpenter was partially held responsible for six different robberies. Carpenter complained to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals about the government's acquisition and review of those records, claiming that it violated his Fourth Amendment rights.
