MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A Medford man plans to take his appeal of a mobile tracking device all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Mail Tribune reports the attorney for Juan Pineda-Moreno (pee-NAY-duh MOH-ray-NOH) believes a dissenting opinion in a federal appeals court ruling was the right one.
Police attached mobile tracking devices to a sport utility vehicle as part of a marijuana investigation in southern Oregon that resulted in the arrest of Pineda-Moreno and others.
His attorney says his constitutional rights to privacy and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures were violated when federal agents attached the tracking devices while his SUV was parked on his property.
