Supreme Court of Georgia

Jones v. State

March 4, 2025321 Ga. 137

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Jones’s motion to suppress evidence obtained through two geofence warrants. It held that the warrants were supported by probable cause because the affidavits established a fair probability that location-history data would identify the murder suspect, and that the warrants were sufficiently particular because they defined the relevant data, geographic area, time period, and device. The court also held that Jones could not challenge the alleged search of other users’ data and declined to decide whether accessing cell-phone location history constitutes a search.
