Supreme Court dismisses appeal based on warrantless phone search
It’s hard to forget a name like Quartavious Davis, but let us remind you anyway: he was sentenced to 162 years in prison with no possibility of parole for a number of armed robberies in Miami. His target locations included big name outlets, such as Walgreens and Wendy’s. Now, the Supreme Court’s nine justices have rejected the appeal he filed — based on the fact that feds obtained his phone data without a warrant — to overturn his conviction. As you may have guessed, authorities used his phone data as evidence in court, showing that his device connected to cell towers near the target locations when they were robbed to make and take calls.
