2012 U.S. Supreme Court Review for Law Enforcement

With a few important U.S. Supreme Court decisions expected to be released in 2013 the past year provided some interesting cases as well.  The most talked about in the realm of law enforcement likely being the Court's decision in U.S. v. Jones, the GPS tracking case.  2013 will bring Court decisions in the area of dog sniffs and the 4th Amendment as well as the admissibility of the pre-arrest, pre-Miranda silence of a criminal defendant when questioned by the police.  While those cases and others await their determination from the Court the below link provides a look at the past year's law enforcement and criminal procedure related cases:
