Which court case came first, United States v. Jones or Marsh v. Chambers?
United States v. Jones (2012) United States v. Jones, 132 S.Ct. 945 (2012), was a United States Supreme Court case which held that installing a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking device on a vehicle and using the device to monitor the vehicle's movements constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.
Marcus v. Search Warrant Marcus v. Search Warrant, 367 U.S. 717 (1961) , full title Marcus v. Search Warrant of Property at 104 East Tenth Street, Kansas City, Missouri, is an "in rem" case decided by the United States Supreme Court on the seizure of obscene materials. The Court unanimously overturned a Missouri Supreme Court decision upholding the forfeiture of hundreds of magazines confiscated from a Kansas City wholesaler. It held that both Missouri's procedures for the seizure of allegedly obscene material and the execution of the warrant itself violated the Fourth and Fourteenth amendments' prohibitions on search and seizure without due process. Those violations, in turn, threatened the rights protected by the First Amendment.
