Once in a while there is a court ruling on the #FourthAmendment that just makes my jaw drop. [The #ExtremistCourt] The #FifthCircuit had such a ruling last Friday, United States v. Jamarr Smith.…

The new case is about the Fourth Amendment limits of #geofence #warrants, which are warrants to access #location #information for users who have opted into having Internet providers retain location history.
