Answer to Question 1

In United States v. Knotts, the Court held that the use of tracking devices (beeper)
to keep track of a person traveling on public roads does not constitute a search,
because a person has no reasonable expectation of privacy when traveling on a
public thoroughfare. In United States v. Jones, the Court held that attaching a
global positioning system (GPS) device to a motor vehicle and using that device to
monitor the vehicle's movements constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.
They are not in conflict because they both stated such devices could be used on
public highways. The problem arises when the vehicle is on private property, such
as in Jones, when the vehicle was parked in the defendant's driveway. This was
based on the old concept of property.
