  1. [en] Effects of #Technology on #Privacy Interests

    "That [US #Fourth] #Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches or seizures of persons, houses, papers, and effects. Yet it is undeniable that #technological advances enable the police to pry into formerly #private areas in ways unimaginable to the drafters of the Bill of Rights."

    "... [US] Supreme Court has updated the Fourth Amendment to #limit #unrestrained #police searches that draw on new technologies."

    "... the Fourth Amendment requires a reasonable search, and generally requires a #warrant, when the government seeks to #compel the production of information from a service provider about an individual’s #location generated by his #phone." ...

  2. #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.

  3. An overview of today's supreme court rulings

    The supreme court ruled that Donald Trump’s firing of #Federal #Reserve governor
    Lisa Cook was unconstitutional,
    in a landmark ruling that limits a president’s authority over the central bank.
    In its opinion, the court said that Trump does not have the constitutional authority to fire a Fed governor without cause.
    The ruling is a major win for the central bank, which has spent the last year under attack from the White House.


    But, in a separate case, the justices ruled that Trump can #fire leaders of #independent #agencies or commissions,
    ending 90 years of court precedent that curbs executive power.
    That case centered on Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump fired as Federal Trade Commission member in March last year over email,
    telling her that keeping her as a commissioner would be “inconsistent with [the] administration’s priorities”.


    The court handed Trump another loss, refusing to hear his bid to overturn a $5m verdict in favor of E Jean #Carroll
    in a case in ⁠which a jury found ⁠him liable for #sexually #abusing the former magazine columnist and then #defaming her.
    The 2023 jury verdict and a $5m civil judgment remain in place.

    The high court declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order.
    There were no noted dissents.


    The supreme court sided against national Republicans and the Trump administration to allow #mail-in #ballots that arrive after election day to be counted, upholding the law in more than a dozen states.
    The Republican National Committee had challenged a Mississippi state law allowing mailed ballots to be counted if they arrive within five business days of election day, so long as they were postmarked by election day.
    The court’s liberal justices pointed to federal laws that allow for grace periods, while noting that a ruling here could also implicate early voting, another common practice.


    The court also refused to revive a $300m #defamation lawsuit filed against #CNN over its coverage of a prominent attorney’s remarks made while defending Trump during his 2020 impeachment.
    Alan Dershowitz said CNN aired only a portion of the comment made during his defense of the president,
    distorting his meaning to make him look like he’d “lost his mind”.
    The network said that multiple outlets had interpreted his remarks in a similar way, and Dershowitz couldn’t show CNN was trying to mischaracterize what he said.
    The court’s majority declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order.


    And finally, the supreme court threw out a judicial decision ⁠involving a Virginia man’s challenge to a #geofence #warrant used by police to access cellphone location data near a crime scene leading to his conviction for armed robbery.
    The justices threw out ⁠a lower court’s ruling against ⁠defendant Okello Chatrie, who had argued he was subjected to an illegal search
    and that evidence in his case should be excluded.
    The court agreed that a search had occurred, but sent the case back to a lower court to conduct further analysis.

  7. Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #US #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties.

    Johnson said he was left #TiedUp outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go.

    “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, & they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a #warrant, & I asked for a #lawyer. They never brought one.”

  8. "Just one no #warrant/no knock ICE raid that detonates into a gun battle with deaths on both sides could simultaniously trigger a 2020-style uprising on our side (#WeThePeople) and a de jure or maybe just de facto use of the #InsurrectionAct by #Trump on the #FascistRegime side. At that point, if #police, #ICE, or troops fire on #protesters or even #rioters, it's on."

  9. 2nd, & much more dramatically, the #FifthCircuit rules that bc the database of #geofence records is so large, & bc the whole database must be scanned through to find matches, the #FourthAmendment does not allow courts to issue #warrants to collect those records. In #legal terms, it is impossible to have a warrant particular enough to authorize the #surveillance. IOW, the govt can't gather these kinds of online records at all, even w/a #warrant based on #ProbableCause.

  10. The #arrest ended an 11-day saga of uncertainty that played out after Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Jeffery Matis issued a #warrant because #StefanieLambert failed to appear for a hearing related to 4 #felony charges she's facing in #Michigan.

    Lambert, who's gained prominence among supporters of Trump, refused to turn herself in & attempted to challenge the warrant in court filings. On Wed, Matis called on the attorney from South Lyon "to comply with that warrant."
