In a ruling defense counsel said exposes individuals to “geotracking” through their use of Wi-Fi, the Pennsylvania Superior Court has ruled that law enforcement did not need a warrant to obtain evidence that a defendant’s cellphone had been logged on to a campus’ wireless network at the time an assault and robbery took place in a nearby dorm.
In Commonwealth v. Dunkins, a three-judge panel of the court unanimously upheld a Northampton County trial judge’s refusal to suppress wireless connection records obtained by Moravian College campus police in a robbery and assault case.
