Court Rules Geofence Warrants Violate Privacy | Charleston News
Description
The Supreme Court just handed down a major privacy ruling: geofence warrants that pull Google Location History data count as Fourth Amendment searches. Justice Kagan warned that modern tech lets police reconstruct your every move with just a few clicks — a chilling reality that mirrors statewide license plate reader networks, which track every car, even innocent ones, and store data for later searches. While supporters of these systems argue they only capture license plates and are limited to watch-listed vehicles, the Court’s decision underscores that privacy isn’t just about what’s visible in public — it’s about how easily the government can surveil everyone, everywhere.
