Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Does the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule allow use at trial of CSLI illegally seized by a prosecutor prior to this Court's decision in Carpenter v. United States, 138 S.Ct. 2206 (2018), under Davis v. United States, 564 U.S. 229 (2011)?

2. Alternatively, does the term "binding appellate precedent" as used in Davis v. United States, 564 U.S. 229, 241 (2011), permit lower courts to consider non-binding but persuasive, authority from other circuits?
