The case is about whether attaching a GPS tracking device to a vehicle and using it to monitor the vehicle's movements on public streets is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. The government obtained a warrant to install a tracking device on Jones's wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was used to track the vehicle's movements for 28 days. Jones argued that the use of the GPS device was a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights, and the case went to court. The relevant facts are the use of the tracking device, the duration of the monitoring, and whether attaching the device constituted a search or seizure under the Fourth Amendment.
