The ACLU petition [PDF] for a writ of certiorari – asking the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision – follows from the US First Circuit Court of Appeals being unable to reach a decision about the lawfulness of cameras placed to surveil homes.The agents initially were investigating Moore's daughter, Nia Moore-Bush (who subsequently changed her name to Nia Dinzey after marriage) and her husband on suspicion of selling unlicensed firearms and later suspected their involvement in the sale of illegal drugs.The appellate judges were unable to reconcile United States v. Bucci (2009), which found utility pole surveillance is not an unlawful search, with United States v. Carpenter (2011), which found that warrantless seizure of cellphone records did violate the Fourth Amendment.Likely not- Amazon has repackaged surveillance capitalism as reality TVThe ACLU petition essentially asks the Supreme Court to provide more guidance about what the Fourth Amendment "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" means in an era when electronics can erase property lines.Moore-Bush subsequently pleaded guilty in July and was sentenced to 86 months in prison and four years of supervised release."
