Over the past 4 months, NBC News affiliate WGRZ has been investigating the Erie County Sheriff’s Department and its use of cell phone tracking devices on citizens without a warrant. I have provided legal analysis for WGRZ throughout their investigative reports.
The federal appeals courts has ruled it is unconstitutional to perform cell phone tracking without a warrant. Despite the ruling Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard has indicated he will continue the practice.
The video above shows the entire report in the latest developments in this cell phone tracking investigation, including my analysis regarding the 11th Circuit’s ruling.
