U.S. v. Osterman

Defendant appealed from the district court’s denial of his motion seeking to suppress evidence collected in conjunction with a search warrant that allowed law enforcement to place a GPS tracker on the defendant’s truck. Defendant argued that the affidavit supporting the application for a warrant lacked probable cause because some of the information contained in the affidavit was incorrect. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that an independent review of the affidavit established probable cause even without considering the misstatements. (RIPPLE and SCUDDER, concurring)
