4th Amendment:
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution is a section of the Bill of Rights that protects the people from being subjected to unreasonable searches and seizures of property by law enforcement officers or the federal government. However, the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit all searches and seizures, but only those that are found by a court to be unreasonable under the law.

History of the 4th Amendment:
Introduced in 1789, what became the Fourth Amendment struck at the heart of a matter central to the early American experience: the principle that, within reason, “Every man's house is his castle,” and that any citizen may fall into the category of the criminally accused and ought to be provided protections accordingly.

Originally created to enforced the doctrine that “each man’s home is his castle,” The Fourth Amendment was written directly in response to British general warrants, called Writs of Assistance, in which the Crown would grant overarching, non-specific search powers to British law enforcement officials.

Facts of the Case
In 2004 Antoine Jones, a Washington D.C. nightclub owner, came under police suspicion for possession and trafficking of narcotics. He became the target of an investigation run by a joint task force that involved the metropolitan police and the FBI. The taskforce observed Jones using a variety of tactics. In 2005, police obtained a warrant to place a GPS tracker on a Jeep Grand Cherokee registered to Jones' wife. The court granted permission to use the tracker, as long as it was installed in Washington D.C. and within 10 days of the issuance of the warrant.
