Conflict of Interest—Theft by Deception—Theft by Unlawful Taking or Disposition—Tampering With Records or
Information—Unauthorized Use of Automobile or Other Vehicle—Motion to Suppress—GPS Tracking—Unlawful Search—Fourth Amendment—Expectation of Privacy—Custodial Interrogation—Miranda Warnings—Criminal
Investigation—Fifth Amendment—Coercion.
The Court denied defendant’s motion to suppress the use of a GPS tracker which was placed on the vehicle which was used by the defendant, but owned by her employer. The Court reasoned that the use of the GPS tracker was not the product of an unlawful search because the defendant did not own the vehicle which was subjected to tracking, and because the defendant was not tracked via GPS outside of her normal working hours. Ad-ditionally, the Court denied defendant’s motion to suppress statements which she made to an investigator who was also employed by her employer. The Court reasoned that the employer’s investigation was non-criminal in nature, and therefore, the employer was not required to provide the defendant with Miranda warnings. Similarly, there was no basis to suppress because the defendant was not coerced into making statements to the investigator.

vided to her, which was owned by the Turnpike Commission, for non-work-related matters. By submitting false time records, it is alleged that she received $5,918 in compensation to which she was not entitled.
On November 9, 2016, counsel for the defendant filed an “Amended Omnibus Pre-Trial Motions.” A hearing on that amend-ed motion was held on November 14, 2016.6 During that hearing, Robert Brautigam, a special investigator with the Turnpike Com-mission, testified. Mr. Brautigam identified himself as an investiga-tor, but not a law enforcement officer. He testified that he lacked arrest powers.
The defense, in their motion, seeks to suppress the use of a GPS tracker placed on the vehicle used by the defendant. The tracker, which was placed behind the rear passenger wheel, pro-vided GPS coordinates from April 10, 2015 to June 5, 2015. The use of the tracker was done without any court authorization. It is alleged that the use of the GPS tracker was the “product of an unlawful search.”7
The defense also contends that an interview with the defen-dant on October 15, 2015, constituted a custodial interrogation for which Miranda warnings were required, but not provided to the defendant. In that vein, it is also alleged that the interrogation violated her rights under Garrity v. New Jersey.8
BACKGROUND
The defendant, according to the interview conducted with her by investigators with the Turnpike Commission (hereinafter PTC), was employed by the PTC for over thirty-two (32) years. For the past eleven (11) years, she was a Construction Manager responsible for “overseeing and managing PTC construction proj-ects.” During the course of this investigation, she was based at the Quakertown Maintenance Facility, where her duties consisted of

managing a PTC resurfacing contract, overseeing her inspectors, and inspecting the work completed by the contractor.9 Each day she completed her project documentation, “including her CDS Inspector Daily Reports and SAP time and attendance.”10
Surveillance of the defendant was conducted between April 10, 2015 and June 5, 2015. The investigation revealed that “on the thirty-nine (39) days that Defendant worked and reported her time in SAP ... that she falsified her work time on all thirty-nine (39) days.”11 Specifically, the defendant reported in SAP that she worked 438 hours, but the investigation concluded she only worked a total of 311 hours. Likewise, her CDS Inspector Daily Reports re-flected that on twenty-eight (28) of the thirty-nine (39) days, she reported starting work earlier than she did, and also consistently claimed that she worked later than she did.12
A PTC vehicle was issued to the defendant, and its use was prohibited for “private purposes.” Surveillance revealed that the defendant made frequent personal stops while driving the PTC vehicle. She was authorized to use the vehicle for her daily com-mute between her home in Emmaus and the Quakertown facility, as well as various worksites. However, the defendant was fre-quently traveling home during her claimed working hours and remained home for hours at a time. Her reporting of commuting miles reflected only one round trip per day. The investigation concluded that she recorded her extra mileage as “business” rather than “commute” mileage.
As part of the investigation, an interview was conducted with the defendant by investigators with the PTC. The interview was not recorded. Prior to that interview, the defendant was contacted and it was recommended that she get union representation. On October 15, 2015, an interview, which lasted over an hour, was

ployees such as the defendant are “required to self-report their time worked into the PTC’s System, Applications, and Products (SAP) payroll system. PTC employees are required to log onto the SAP system and input both the total and type of hours worked.”

conducted with the defendant. She was told to be “truthful,” and the interview was conducted in the presence of the defendant’s union representative. Investigator Brautigam described the inter-view as an administrative investigation, not a criminal investigation.
The defendant initially denied falsifying her SAP and CDS reports. When confronted with the surveillance evidence, she eventually agreed that the time reported in SAP was not accurate. She explained that she frequently took phone calls from home throughout the day and night when she was not physically at work, and suggested that she felt she was “working 24/7.”13 When asked to justify why she reported extra hours in SAP when she wasn’t working, the defendant stated several times, “I don’t know what to say.”14
The defendant also admitted to the investigators that she would use her PTC vehicle to run personal errands. She admitted going to the supermarket, a drug store, and Dries Do-It Center in Macungie. She also admitted going home to let her dogs out. The defendant explained that she also used the vehicle to drive to her chiropractor’s office in Allentown on several occasions. She further admitted to driving her neighbor to church in the PTC vehicle on one occasion.
DISCUSSION
a. GPS Tracking Device
The conundrum presented in this suppression motion is whether an investigator with the PTC may install a GPS tracking device (hereinafter GPS) on a vehicle owned by the PTC, but as-signed to the defendant, without her knowledge, and without a court order. Additionally, the defendant contends that she is en-titled to the protections of the Fourth Amendment because the investigation by the PTC was referred to the Office of the Attorney General (hereinafter OAG), and the information amassed from the GPS is an indispensable part of the prosecution. In that regard, if the investigation was commenced by the OAG, a court order would
13 Commonwealth’s Exhibit 7, at p. 3.14 Id.
13
Commonwealth vs. Sacco284
Lehigh 7-17 op
be required. Here, the PTC conducted an investigation without judicial oversight, and under circumstances which would be im-permissible by the OAG.
In United States v. Jones, ___ U.S. ___, 132 S. Ct. 945 (2012), in an opinion written by Justice scalia, it was held that the attach-ment of a GPS tracking device to a vehicle and the subsequent use of that device to monitor the vehicle’s movements on public streets was a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Id. at 949. See also, Commonwealth v. Arthur, 62 A.3d 424, 428 (Pa. Super. 2013) (Placement of a GPS device on defendant’s car con-stituted a search); State v. Jean, 372 P.3d 1019 (Ariz. Ct. App. 2016) (Jones held for the first time that the installation of a GPS on a vehicle constituted a trespass and the use of the GPS to monitor the vehicle’s movements constituted a search under the Fourth Amendment.). Therefore, the installation of the GPS would gener-ally require a court order. See 18 Pa. C.S. §5761.
The conclusion that the placement of the GPS constitutes a search, and if conducted by the OAG would require a court order, does not end the inquiry. Further analysis must be undertaken because, although the defendant had exclusive use of the vehicle for her employment, the vehicle was owned by the PTC. How-ever, in light of Jones, the fact that the PTC owned the vehicle does not mean that the defendant’s privacy interests were not in-fringed. Justice scalia “held that the [information] of what consti-tutes a search as delineated in Katz[15] ... was incomplete. ... In Katz, the Supreme Court stated that ‘the Fourth Amendment protects people, not places.’ ” Arthur, supra (citations omitted). Justice scalia further explained that “Katz supplemented but did not replace traditional jurisprudence that linked Fourth Amendment rights to property rights and thus protects individuals from govern-ment actions that constitute a trespass. ... Thus, the majority held that while not all trespassory searches offend the Fourth Amend-ment, those that involve, ‘persons, houses, papers, and effects’ do invoke that protection, whether or not the individual had a reason-able expectation of privacy under Katz in the item at the time the trespass took place. ... ” Id. (citations omitted). However, the “defendant ... has the preliminary burden of establishing standing and a legitimate expectation of privacy. ... A defendant must sepa-
14
Commonwealth vs. Sacco 285
Lehigh 7-17 op
rately establish a legitimate expectation of privacy in the area searched or thing seized.” Id. (quoting Commonwealth v. Burton, 973 A.2d 428, 435 (Pa. Super. 2009)) (en banc). As explained in Burton:
An expectation of privacy is present when the individ-ual, by his conduct, exhibits an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy and that the subjective expectation is one that so-ciety is prepared to recognize as reasonable. The constitu-tional legitimacy of an expectation of privacy is not dependent on the subjective intent of the individual asserting the right but on whether the expectation is reasonable in light of all the surrounding circumstances.
Id.
The analysis in Arthur recognized that though “Pennsylvania courts have not addressed the concept of the legitimate expectation in light of Jones, several other states and federal courts have.” Id. at 429. For example, in United States v. Shephard, 2012 WL 3117513 (6th Cir. August 1, 2012), the defendant failed to dem-onstrate any legitimate expectation of privacy because he did not own, drive, or occupy the vehicle. See also, State v. Estrella, 286 P.3d 150 (Ariz. Ct. App. 2012) (Defendant did not have a reason-able expectation of privacy because he did not provide any evidence that he had permission to drive employer’s van or had any interest in it when GPS was attached.). “[T]hose courts who have applied Jones have been reluctant to extend its holding to individuals absent proof of ownership or a strong showing of a possessory interest in the vehicle.” Arthur, supra at 430. In Jones, the defendant did not own the vehicle; it belonged to his wife, but he was the exclusive driver. As a result, he had the rights of a bailee and standing to challenge the GPS. Jones, supra at 946 and n.2. See also, State v. Mitchell, 323 P.3d 69 (Ariz. Ct. App. 2014). In Jean, while finding no standing to assert a Fourth Amendment challenge, this issue was analyzed as follows:
Here, there is no evidence the owner of the truck made a ‘full transfer’ of the truck to Jean, nor is there any evidence of a delivery and acceptance. There is no evidence the
15 Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967).
15
Commonwealth vs. Sacco286
Lehigh 7-17 op
owner placed the truck in Jean’s actual or constructive pos-session so ‘as to exclude the possession of the owner and all other persons and give [Jean] for the time being the sole custody and control thereof ’. Id. There is no evidence Jean ever possessed the keys to the truck. In sum, even if Jean may have occasionally operated the truck as a co- driver while in the owner’s presence, there is no evidence the owner did not reserve his right to possess and control the truck at all times. Therefore, there is no evidence that Jean was a bailee of the truck.
Supra at 1024.
Here, the vehicle was placed in the defendant’s exclusive custody and control. She drove the vehicle without the owner present. She possessed the keys to the vehicle. She was more than an occasional operator of the vehicle. She had a privacy interest in the vehicle sufficient to confer standing to contest the place-ment of the GPS even though the vehicle was owned by PTC. Furthermore, the PTC Employee Handbook is silent regarding an expectation of privacy.16 See City of Ontario, Cal. v. Quon, 560 U.S. 746, 755 (2010) (“It is well-settled that the Fourth Amend-ment’s protection extends beyond the sphere of criminal inves-tigations. ... The Amendment guarantees the privacy, dignity, and security of persons against certain arbitrary and invasive acts of the Government without regard to whether the government actor is investigating crime or performing another function. ... The Fourth Amendment applies as well when the Government acts in its capacity as an employer. ... Individuals do not lose Fourth Amendment rights merely because they work for the government instead of a private employer.”). See also, O’Connor v. Ortega, 480 U.S. 709, 717 (1987).
Therefore, “where an employee has a legitimate expectation of privacy, an employer’s intrusion on that expectation ‘for non-investigatory, work-related purposes, as well as for investigations of work-related misconduct, should be judged by the standard of reasonableness under all the circumstances.’ ” Quon, supra at 757
16 See Employee Handbook at p. 44.
16
Commonwealth vs. Sacco 287
Lehigh 7-17 op
(quoting O’Connor, 480 U.S. at 725-26). See also, James v. Hampton, 592 Fed. Appx. 449 (6th Cir. 2015) (If the employee does have an expectation of privacy, “the warrantless search must be reasonable both at its inception and its scope. A search is justified at its inception ‘when there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the search will turn up evidence that the employee is guilty of work-related misconduct’ ... The search is reasonable in scope when it is ‘reasonably related to the objec-tives of the search and not excessively intrusive in light of ... the nature of the misconduct.’ ”); Demaine v. Samuels, 29 Fed. Appx. 671, 675 (2002) (“The defendant’s actions are properly evaluated under the more lenient reasonableness standard be-cause the search took place during an internal work-related investigation. ‘ The crucial question is not whether the investi-gation involves actions arising out of the [employee’s] duties, but whether the investigation’s objective is to discipline or to seek criminal prosecution.’ ”). See also, U.S. v. Simons, 206 F.3d 392, 399-400 (4th Cir. 2000).
In Cunningham v. New York State Department of Labor, 997 N.E.2d 468 (N.Y. 2013) the State of New York, suspecting that one of its employees was submitting false time reports, attached a GPS device to the employee’s car. It was held that the Inspector General did not violate the State or Federal Con-stitution by failing to seek a warrant before attaching a GPS device. However, it was held that the search was not reasonable because it was not “reasonable in scope” because it was “exces-sively intrusive.” Id. at 473. “Where an employer conducts a GPS search without making a reasonable effort to avoid tracking an employee outside of business hours, the search as a whole must be considered unreasonable.” Id.
Here, the failure to secure a court order is dependent upon whether the workplace exception to the warrant requirement applies. As stated in O’Connor, “the government employer does not lose its special need for the efficient and proper operation of the workplace merely because the evidence obtained was evidence of a crime.” Supra at 723. Additionally, the workplace
17
Commonwealth vs. Sacco288
Lehigh 7-17 op
exception remains applicable even when the uncovered crime is later turned over for criminal investigation. Simons, supra at 400 (collecting cases).17
A review of the investigation by the PTC in this case dis-closes that similar to Cunningham, it was a workplace investiga-tion involving false time reports. The length of the GPS portion of this investigation lasted approximately fifty-one (51) days. The major difference between Cunningham and the within case is that the GPS was attached to Cunningham’s personal vehicle. The vehicle in this case was not only owned by the PTC, but in light of the limitations on its use, the defendant was not tracked outside of her normal work hours.
Although the use of the GPS by the PTC without judicial oversight presents a significant and unacceptable risk of abuse, this Court, under the current state of the law, cannot find their search to be unreasonable. However, if the GPS had been at-tached to the defendant’s personal vehicle, the result in this case would have been otherwise. It was expressed best in the concur-ring opinion in Cunningham, wherein it was stated that the “imprimatur of warrantless GPS tracking will almost certainly
17 New York v. Burger, 482 U.S. 691, 716 (1987) (holding that “[t]he discovery of evidence of crimes in the course of an otherwise proper administrative inspection does not render that search illegal or the administrative scheme suspect”); Ferguson v. City of Charleston, 186 F.3d 469, 477 n.7 (4th Cir. 1999) (observing that eventual use in a criminal proceeding of evidence obtained during a special needs search does not “preclude [ ] application of the special needs balancing test”), cert. granted, 528 U.S. 1187 (2000). In Simons, the violation of FBIS’ Internet policy happened also to be a violation of criminal law; this does not mean that FBIS lost the capacity and interests of an em-ployer. See Gossmeyer v. McDonald, 128 F.3d 481, 492-93 (7th Cir. 1997) (concluding that presence of law enforcement personnel at search of employee’s office by government employer did not preclude application of O’Connor); see also, 4 Wayne R. LaFave, Search and Seizure §10.3(d), at 87-88 (3d ed. 1996) (noting that conclusion that warrant require-ment does not apply when employer is investigating work-related criminal conduct is consistent with reasoning of O’Connor); cf., United States v. Nasser, 476 F.2d 1111, 1123-24 (7th Cir. 1973) (upholding as reasonable under the Fourth Amendment a govern-ment employer’s electronic surveillance of an employee that yielded evidence of criminal misconduct, based upon the relationship of the search to the employee’s work duties); cf. also, Waters v. Churchill, 511 U.S. 661 (1994) (plurality opinion) (stating that, in the First Amendment context, “the government as employer indeed has far broader powers than does the government of sovereign”).

replace less intrusive methods for investigating government em-ployees with electronic surveillance.” Supra at 477.18
b. PTC Interview of Defendant
The defendant contends that when she was interviewed by Investigator Brautigam, he was required to provide her with Mi-randa warnings. She also cites Garrity v. State of New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 (1967), as added support to seek suppression of her state-ments. Garrity holds the statements of public employees are co-erced if obtained under a threat that invocation of the Fifth Amendment will result in job termination.
Garrity is inapposite because in that case the officers, who were being criminally investigated, were given a choice to either incriminate themselves or forfeit their jobs. The interview with the defendant, which was conducted with her union representative, did not have any elements of coercion. The interview was con-ducted as part of an administrative investigation, not a criminal investigation. No evidence was presented that she faced termina-tion if she did not consent to the interview or asserted her Fifth Amendment privileges. She was advised about the nature of the interview, and she acknowledged “her responsibility as a PTC employee to be completely honest and forthright during the inter-view.”19 Her responsibilities are found in the Employee Handbook, which states the following:
EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY
As an employee of the Commission, you are required to report any illegal or inappropriate acts. Failure or refusal to cooperate or answer appropriate or reasonable questions surrounding an investigation could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.[20]
18 The PTC and the OAG during the hearing in this matter expressed a rather cavalier attitude towards the privacy rights of government employees, essentially asserting that permitting carte blanche searches are permissible. This opinion should not be a ve-hicle for that interpretation of the law.
19 See Commonwealth’s Exhibit 7, at p. 1.20 See Commonwealth’s Exhibit 1, Employee Handbook, at p. 40.

Commonwealth vs. Sacco290
Lehigh 7-17 op
In Uniformed Sanitation Men Association v. Commission of Sanitation of the City of New York, 392 U.S. 280 (1968), it was held that public employees are entitled, like all other persons, to the benefit of Constitution, including the privilege against self-incrimination. However, they cannot be presented with the choice between surrendering their constitutional rights or their jobs. “[P]ublic employees ... subject themselves to dismissal if they refuse to account for their performance of their public trust, after proper proceedings, which do not involve an attempt to coerce them to relinquish their constitutional rights.” Id. at 285. See also, Di-Ciacco v. Civil Service Commission of City of Philadelphia, 389 A.2d 703, 709 (Pa. Commw. 1978) (Public employers can question their employees on matters relating to their employment and dis-miss them on the basis of their answer or for refusing to answer. They may do so as long as they have not indicated to the employee that assertion of his constitutional right to remain silent ... will constitute grounds for discharge.).
Here, nothing was said to the defendant which would have led her to believe that if she remained silent she would automati-cally lose her job or suffer severe employment sanctions for remain-ing silent. The evidence presented at the suppression hearing is also silent regarding any attempt to coerce the defendant to relin-quish her constitutional rights against self-incrimination in poten-tial future criminal proceedings. See Criswell v. State, 45 N.E.3d 46 (Ind. Ct. App. 2015) (citing Uniformed Sanitation Men, 392 U.S. at 284-85).
Finally, there are no cases that have suggested that Miranda warnings are required in investigations which are non-criminal in nature. Commonwealth v. McLaughlin, 375 Pa. 97, 103, 379 A.2d 1056, 1058 (1977); see also, Commonwealth v. Heggins, 809 A.2d 908, 915 (Pa.

Dear Bar Association Member,
The Bar Association of Lehigh County has started the Annual Ask for the Lehigh County Lawyer’s Charitable Fund Grant. This year’s theme is “School Programs in Need” and we are asking all organizations applying to keep that in mind as they complete their request.
We are proud to remind all lawyers that the Bar Association of Lehigh County has conducted an Assistance Program to benefit area 501c3 organizations to provide much needed assistance to our surrounding communities for many years. This program has raised over $200,000 throughout that time and distributed these funds to many deserving area organizations.
This year to assist these organizations, we are asking each lawyer to give generously to help support those in our local community. Remember, these contributions stay in the Greater Lehigh Valley area.
The Program is administered through the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation and all gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Foundation will acknowledge all gifts for tax purposes.
We will recognize all those nonprofit organizations receiving funds as part of our Law Day celebration in May.
Past years’ contributions went to the Crime Victims Council of the Lehigh Valley, Dream Come True, The Lehigh Valley Zoo, Community Bike Works, The Victory House, Angel 34, Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley and many more.

PBI Group Cast Seminar “Trends in Municipal Finance” Wednesday, January 25, 2017
TACKLE THESE TOUGH ISSUES Role of Solicitor in a Bond Issue
Whether they’re full time employees or in private practice, municipal solicitors in Pennsylvania handle a wide variety of legal work, including litigation, contracts and labor matters. Although a municipality may retain separate bond counsel, the solicitor must take steps to protect the client before a bond is issued.
LEGAL CHALLENGES FACING DISTRESSED MUNICIPALITIES Many municipalities are finding it difficult to balance their budgets and pay long-term obligations such as pensions and post-retirement benefits. Some face a downward spiral of continuing deficits and unpaid obligations. This session reviews the legal challenges that commonly confront distressed municipalities, and how the Act 47 process and Chapter 9 bankruptcy work.
BEYOND PLAIN VANILLA PUBLIC BOND ISSUE This session will examine some of the reasons for issuing bonds beyond a normal project or refunding – such as the recently-created city revitalization and improvement zone (CRIZ) authority and pension obligation bonds – the benefits and drawbacks of doing so, and the legal challenges that they may face.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE LANDSCAPE This session will review the continuing disclosure obligations of municipal issuers under SEC Rule 15c2-12, documents that must be filed with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, recent SEC enforcement actions and best practices for municipal issuers.

Friday, February 10, 2017 Examine what is happening at the intersection of human rights and corporate decision-making. This intersection is evolving rapidly and it is worth your attention. Ray Brown and Wanda Akin stand at the forefront of this nexus of doing what is right for humanity and doing what is prudent for your clients. Corporate decision-makers who ignore, or even seek to mask human rights transgressions put their employees at risk of criminal penalties, companies at risk of enormous civil fines, and shareholders at risk of unanticipated and unforeseeable losses and reputational harm.
Discover the growing International hotbed of litigation The United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework devotes one of its three sections to the Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum laid to rest a small corner of the issue of corporate liability, but it left open the discussion of supply chain issues, mergers and acquisitions, licensing and franchising, and other perils for multi-nationals under the Alien Tort Claims Act. Industry organizations are currently challenging the implementation of SEC regulations handed down to comply with the Conflict Minerals provisions of Dodd-Frank.
