Not that I am aware of. But let me do a Google search.

9th Circuit says otherwise.

According to the latest ruling out of the Ninth Circuit Court, it’s perfectly legal for federal agents to secretly plant a GPS locator on your car in the middle of the night, even if it’s parked in your driveway, and then use said locator to track your movements as they see fit. Even without a warrant.

How is this any different from posting a surveillance vehicle in the street and then following him to the pot plantation? If the agents had dug up his yard, the discussion on curtilage may have gone differently.
