Police use geofence warrants in privacy case

The Supreme Court is considering the implications of geofence warrants in the case of Chatrie v. United States. These warrants allow police to obtain location data from tech companies like Google, potentially implicating individuals who were merely in proximity to a crime scene. The case highlights concerns about the privacy of location data and other information stored by large technology firms. Google Maps' Location History feature, which tracks users with high precision, was instrumental in identifying the suspect in a 2019 bank robbery, raising significant questions about digital privacy rights.
