  9. Two Screens, One Corner

    The man on the corner had his phone in one hand and a child's white puffa coat over the other arm, which tells you roughly how the morning was going. Across the square a woman stood next to the brick wall in the same posture, head down, thumb moving. They weren't together, so the matching was just chance. Twenty years ago they'd have stood there bored. Nobody under that age remembers a world without mobile screens. My first one was the Samsung Galaxy S2. I loved that phone!

    Authorities need to obtain a search warrant when asking tech companies for the location data of their users, including when requesting historical geofence location data.

    NOTE: some service providers (Google) store users’ location data locally on their devices prompting investigators to go to the users themselves to access this data. techcrunch.com/2026/06/29/in-m #SCOTUS #GeoFencing #GeoFenceData #Mobility #MobilePhones #Privacy #Search&Seizure #Warrant #LocationData #4thAmendment #Constitution #PrivacyRights #DataPrivacy #SearchWarrant #LawEnforcement
