US v. Fuentes Findings and Recommendations
This decision granted the defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained through a geofence warrant, ruling that the warrant lacked probable cause and was overly broad, constituting a general warrant. The court found that the search violated the Fourth Amendment as it did not adhere to the required three-step process to protect user anonymity. The court also rejected the government’s argument for a good faith exception, noting that the affidavit contained false information and lacked necessary details. The court suppressed all evidence from the geofence warrant.
