Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the government installation of a GPS device on a vehicle and its use of that device to monitor the car constitute a search?

2. Did trial counsel involve in collusion with all parties regarding GPS tracking to assure a conviction?

3. Did Fairfax County police illegally enter the state of Maryland without a warrant and physically intrude on Petitioner's car to install a GPS device?

4. Was the state and federal courts ruling so lacking and not grounded in existing law beyond any possibility for fair disagreement?

5. Should this court address GPS tracking regarding a personal vehicle owner of the vehicle?

6. Did the law clearly establish before Mr. Edmonds that the suppression phase of his trial took place before Edmonds state court conviction became final?

7. Was there ineffective assistance of counsel?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Fourth Amendment prohibits warrantless GPS tracking of a vehicle, and whether the retroactive application of the Supreme Court's decision in Carpenter v. United States deprived the petitioner of due process
