State v. Jackson
Washington Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtMadsen, J.
Petitioner William Bradley Jackson maintains that a warrant is required under article I, section 7 of the Washington State Constitution before police may attach global positioning system (GPS) devices to a vehicle in order to track the driver’s movements. We agree. However, because in this case the police obtained valid warrants, we find no constitutional violation. In addition, we affirm a ruling denying Jackson’s motion for a change of venue due to pretrial publicity, affirm his conviction, and uphold the exceptional sentence imposed.
