"That is an unreasonable search under the #FourthAmendment," judge concluded

In major #privacy win, #SupremeCourt rules #geofence #warrants are protected by privacy rights
In the 6-3 ruling, #SCOTUS said that “an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in his cell-phone #location information.” According to the court, that means people have privacy rights when it comes to the location history collected by their phones, as well as the services and apps running on them. #4thAmendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

#SupremeCourt ruling guts government’s use of #geofence #warrants
The #FourthAmendment protects a user’s “location history,” the Supreme Court ruled Monday.
The same logic already applied to a cellphone’s #tracking , and the high court found “no good reason exists to reach a different result for Location History” collected by third parties like #Google.
Split 6-3, the majority agreed that the government needs a #warrant and must show reasonable cause to turn a phone's location-tracking services into a government #surveillance tool.
