Supreme Court rules geofence warrants fall under Fourth Amendment
Original: Supreme Court puts geofence warrants inside the Fourth Amendment
The US Supreme Court has ruled that geofence warrants — police demands for location data on every phone in a given area — fall within the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches. The decision means law enforcement must generally obtain a warrant before sweeping up bulk location data, a significant development for digital privacy and policing powers.
Why now: The ruling directly affects police investigative powers and digital privacy rights nationwide.
