Search warrants: tracking devices.

Abstract

Existing law authorizes a search warrant to be issued upon specified grounds, including that the information to be received from the use of a tracking device constitutes evidence that tends to show that a felony or specified misdemeanors has been committed or is being committed, tends to show that a particular person has committed a felony or those specified misdemeanors, or will assist in locating an individual who has committed or is committing a felony or those specified misdemeanors. Existing law requires a warrant issued pursuant to these provisions to meet specified requirements. Existing law defines tracking device for these purposes as any electronic or mechanical device that permits the tracking of the movement of a person or object. This bill would specify that a tracking device includes any software that permits the tracking of the movement of a person or object.
