Recent lower-court cases interpreting the 2018 decision in Carpenter v. U.S ., under which government demands for a suspect’s personal data held by a non-governmental third-party (e.g., a cellphone company) must sometimes be supported by a search warrant and probable cause . Mitchell v. Wisconsin , holding that police do not require a search warrant before performing a blood-alcohol test of a driver who is so drunk as to be unconscious. 42 U.S.C. §1983 , a statute that sometimes allows people whose Fourth Amendment or other constitutional rights have been violated by a police officer to bring a civil suit for money damages against the officer. Samia v. U.S. , covering the situation in which D1 and D2 are tried together for the same crime, and the prosecution wants to present to the jury a confession by D1 (who doesn’t take the stand) that also implicates D2 . Samia makes it much easier for prosecutors to present D1’s confession with only slight redactions of the portions that implicate D2, without thereby violating D2’s Confrontation Clause rights . Claims of “ selective prosecution ,” including why it’s virtually impossible for a defendant to successfully assert such claims.
