Supreme Court Limits Police Geofence Searches | San Jose News
Description
The Supreme Court just handed law enforcement a major privacy check: geofence searches—where cops pull location data from everyone near a crime scene—now must follow constitutional rules, not just sweep up innocent bystanders. This isn’t a ban, but a legal tightrope: courts must now define what makes such searches lawful, forcing police to justify scope and intent. Privacy advocates call it “fishing,” while tech and legal experts brace for fallout—will states step in? Will companies rethink data storage? One thing’s clear: our phones are full of secrets, and the courts are stepping in to make sure cops can’t just grab them without cause.
