Doyle finds that the trial court properly granted defendant's motion to suppress evidence derived from real-time GPS and cell-site location information provided by T-Mobile to police. The evidence led to defendant's indictment for rape, kidnapping, robbery and other offenses. The trial court discredited a detective's testimony about the exigent circumstances request made by police and found that four statements in the request contained misrepresentations which exaggerated the exigency of the circumstances. The trial court also correctly rejected defendant's motion to dismiss three counts of the indictment related to the alleged rape in his vehicle. There is no evidence that police acted in bad faith by failing to prevent the vehicle from being vandalized before defendant could search for allegedly exculpatory evidence inside. Affirmed.
