TL;DR:
A federal highway bill amendment would cut funding to states and cities unless they shut down automated license plate tracking programs, effectively banning the tech nationwide except for toll collection, over privacy and surveillance concerns.

English – The Conversation | Supreme Court geofencing case weighs constitutionality of digital dragnets – and how far your rights go in the data Big Tech collects on you by Anne Toomey McKenna, Affiliated Faculty Member, Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, Penn State
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide whether law‑enforcement can use “geofence” warrants—orders that force tech companies such as Google to turn over the location data of every cellphone within a defined area and time frame—to investigate crimes, a practice at the heart of the case Chatrie v. United States. The dispute arose from a 2019 armed bank robbery in Midlothian, Virginia, where detectives obtained a warrant that compelled Google to identify all devices in a 17½‑acre zone for two hours, ultimately leading them to suspect Okello Chatrie. While the trial court and the Fourth Circuit upheld the warrant as lawful, the Fifth Circuit recently declared similar geofence warrants unconstitutional “general warrants” under the Fourth Amendment, creating a split that the Supreme Court must resolve. Critics argue that these warrants bypass the constitutional requirement of particularity, sweep up innocent users who never consented to be included, and lack adequate judicial oversight, whereas the government maintains that users voluntarily share location data and therefore have no reasonable expectation of privacy. The Court’s ruling will shape the future of digital surveillance, defining whether broad, reverse‑search warrants can be used to capture the digital trails that modern smartphones continuously generate.

Salon.com | US government ramps up mass surveillance with help of AI tech, your apps by Anne Toomey McKenna
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article explains that the U.S. government is dramatically expanding mass surveillance by buying enormous quantities of personal data from commercial brokers and by forging partnerships with private tech firms to collect information directly, then using artificial‑intelligence tools to analyze it at scale. Everyday devices—smartphones, car sensors, home‑door cameras, wearables, and payment apps—gather detailed biometric, location, health, and behavioral data that is sold on the data‑broker market, and recent federal funding (e.g., $165 billion to the Department of Homeland Security and $86 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is being funneled into AI‑driven systems for predictive policing, sentiment analysis, and geospatial heat‑mapping. This rapid expansion blurs the line between legitimate national‑security work and unlawful domestic spying, sidestepping Fourth‑Amendment safeguards and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, while oversight remains weak. The author, a privacy and tech‑law attorney, argues that restoring the original intent of the Wiretap Act, passing comprehensive data‑privacy legislation, and tightening regulation of AI‑enabled surveillance are essential to protect Americans’ privacy.

New legislation aims to roll back the expanded definition of Electronic Communications Service Providers and tighten FBI wiretap rules. It would restore stricter warrant requirements under the Fourth Amendment and curb data‑broker access to Section 702 data. Could this shift protect privacy or hinder investigations?
