#US #SupremeCourt appears split over controversial use of '#geofence' search #warrants
The case, Chatrie v. 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.

A bank robber's cellphone gave him away. His case is at the Supreme Court

Okello Chatrie’s cellphone gave him away. Chatrie made off with $195,000 from the bank he robbed in suburban Richmond, Virginia, and he eluded the police. But then they turned to a powerful technological tool that erected a virtual fence and allowed them collect the location history of cellphone users near the crime scene. A type of warrant served by police on Google found that Chatrie’s cellphone was among a handful of devices in the vicinity of the bank around the time it was robbed. Now the Supreme Court will decide whether those geofence warrants violate the Fourth Amendment's ban on unreasonable searches.
