introduction
He has presented cases to the New York State Court of Appeals (NY’s highest court) on four occasions, including the landmark case of People v. Weaver. In Weaver, Mr. Hug successfully argued that the government should not be permitted to track the movements of citizens by way of GPS devices on automobiles without first securing a warrant based upon probable cause. At the time, some state and federal courts had permitted such intrusion without a warrant. As a result of Mr. Hug’s advocacy, that was supported by numerous national and state organizations, the tide turned in privacy laws not only in the State of New York, but across the nation. And, when the US Supreme Court addressed the issue, they cited Mr. Hug’s case in Weaver, when they declared that a warrant would be required across the nation before the police attach a GPS device to a citizen’s car for the purpose of tracking their movements. A video of Mr. Hug’s advocacy at oral argument is still posted for viewing on the Court of Appeals’ website.
