DENVER — The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday ruled the reverse Google keyword search utilized by the Denver Police Department to track down suspects involved in ahouse fire that killed a Senegalese family of five in Denver's Green Valley Ranch neighborhood in 2020 could be admitted as evidence and remanded “the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
The fire in the 5300 block of N. Truckee Street on August 5, 2020, which investigators suspected started as a result of arson, killed a toddler, child, and three adults."We agree with the trial court that the deterrent purpose of the exclusionary rule would not be served by suppressing evidence from a warrant—several iterations of which were approved by two judges—that authorized a relatively new and previously unchallenged investigative technique.
“The way this search worked is that Google was asked to provide to law enforcement every single person — maybe in Colorado, but it looks like probably in the world — who searched for, either in the Google app itself or in Google maps, for a particular address," Ian Farrell, associate professor at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law, explained to Denver7 reporter Russell Haythorn.
“It’s a fascinating case,” said Farrell. “The argument from the defendants is that because the information was obtained in violation of their 4th Amendment rights, the judge made an error in allowing that to be presented. It’s a classic example of the challenges that are faced when you have a document that was written in the 1780s and and you’re trying to apply it to digital technology.
