State v. Rashawn Carter

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed Carter’s convictions, holding that the good‑faith exception to the exclusionary rule bars suppression of evidence obtained from real‑time cell‑site location information disclosed under 18 U.S.C. § 2702(c)(4). The Court declined to decide whether the acquisition constituted a Fourth Amendment search, focusing instead on the statutory authority and officers’ good‑faith reliance. Justice Kittredge, James, Hill and Verdín concurred.
