SCOTUSblog · United States · US Supreme Court rules geofence warrants are a Fourth Amendment 'search,' limits police access to Google location data
Confirmed the 6-3 majority holding: a geofence warrant is a Fourth Amendment search because an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in records about their cell phone's location, even when those records are held by a third-party company (Google). Justice Kagan wrote for the majority. Alito dissented, joined by Thomas and largely by Barrett. Case remanded to the Fourth Circuit; the Supreme Court expressly declined to rule on whether the search was reasonable.
“Court rules that law enforcement's use of 'geofence warrant' was a 'search'.”
