Text: Detective Cooper testiﬁed that he directed agents to surveil a Wal-Mart parking lot on January 25, 2017, in anticipation of a heroin shipment arriving. The agents collected video and photographic evidence that showed coconspirators Martinez-Acosta and Mario Esquivel-Sotelo receive a gray Chrysler 300 from a commercial car carrier. Detective Cooper entered the car’s license plate number into a national automated license plate reader program that would alert him if one of the program’s cameras identiﬁed the plate number. Later that day, several calls between Gomez and MartinezAcosta were intercepted. Gomez conﬁrmed that they got the right vehicle and told Martinez-Acosta that he would tell him “how to open that shit up so that [he] can get out those things and then put it in the garage.” Gomez also warned MartinezAcosta that the car has “a listening device and it shows where the car is,” so he shouldn’t say anything. Detective Cooper received an alert from the license plate reader program on March 5, 2017, that the Chrysler 300 was in New Mexico. He notiﬁed the New Mexico State Police, who intercepted it. Those oﬃcers found eleven kilograms of cocaine, a GPS tracker, and an audio recorder.
