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.

United States, centers on the government’s controversial use of so-called “geofence” #searchwarrants. #Lawenforcement and federal agents use these warrants to compel tech companies, like Google, to turn over information about which of its billions of users were in a certain place and time based on their #phone’s location.

We've all had the unsettling experience of seeing an ad online that reveals just how much #advertisers know about our lives. You're right to be disturbed. Those very same online ad systems have been used by the government to warrantlessly track peoples' locations, new reporting has confirmed.

"Got that? Complying with the Constitution’s foundational procedural protection is a 'non-starter.' More importantly, it is an admission that the current practice of ICE of entering homes without a judicial warrant violates the Constitution."

"On Tuesday, Stephen Miller rejected as a 'non-starter' a demand by Democrats that ICE obtain judicial warrants based 'upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized' before entering a home."

The #Democrats’ statement comes as time is running short, with another partial #government #shutdown threatening to begin Saturday. Among the Democrats’ demands are a requirement for #judicial #warrants, better identification of #DHS “officers”, new #UseOfForce standards & a stop to #RacialProfiling. They say such changes are necessary after 2 protesters were fatally shot by federal agents in #Minneapolis last month.
