California Court of Appeal

In a case of first impression in California, the downloading of data from his vehicle's sensing and diagnostic module (SDM), also sometimes referred to as an event data recorder (EDR), following the fatal vehicle-pedestrian collision violated defendant's Fourth Amendment rights, and thus the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress.
