Geofencing warrant
Years ago, when I was a Digital Forensic Analyst, I was exploring options in a case where I was trying to pinpoint certain people in certain locations. Unfortunately, cell towers were limited in these sticks and I had limited info to process.
Then.. A Marshal walked by and asked what I was working on. I explained, and he came back with the geofencing request idea. It was the first time I had heard of this and I was not so surprised in finding out that certain services could pinpoint you based on answering the question, "Which accounts using your service were located between these coordinates 'xxxxxx, xxxxxx' between the hours ox Xam and Xpm on THIS date." < very loose verbiage here.
Wow. I shouldn't be so surprised, right? The ongoing collection of personal data is neverending.
How could this NOT be a search, is my question.
So now, do you think we cover the area of collecting "tower dumps"? Wouldn't this be very close to a geofence?
