123903P.pdf   10/11/2013  United States  v.  Edgar Barraza-Maldonado
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3903
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bright and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal Case - suppression. Assuming without deciding that DEA agents 
   violated defendant's Fourth Amendment rights by installing a global 
   positioning system device without a warrant and monitoring of car's 
   movement as it traveled from Arizona to Minnesota, the district court 
   properly denied a motion to suppress evidence found in the vehicle because 
   the evidence seized as a result of the installation and monitoring was 
   admissible under the good faith exception to the Fourth Amendment 
   exclusionary rule. At the time the GPS device was installed in Arizona, 
   Ninth Circuit law provided that such installation did not constitute a 
   Fourth Amendment search.
