P. v. Meza
Annotate this Case
Defendants were arrested and convicted of murder charges after law enforcement obtained a geofence warrant, leading to the discovery of evidence connecting them to the crime. Defendants filed motions to quash and suppress, which were denied. Defendants then entered guilty and no contest pleas and then appealed their conviction based on the geofence warrant.
The Second Appellate District found that, while the geofence warrant satisfied the requirements of CalECPA, it was overbroad and violated the 4th Amendment. However, the court affirmed Defendants’ convictions nonetheless, finding that the officers relied on the geofence warrant in good faith.
