Supreme Court rules geofence warrants fall under Fourth Amendment

Original: Supreme Court puts geofence warrants inside the Fourth Amendment

The US Supreme Court has ruled that geofence warrants, which allow police to demand location data on every phone in a given area, fall within the protections of the Fourth Amendment. The decision means law enforcement must satisfy constitutional search-and-seizure standards before obtaining such broad digital location data, a move with significant implications for privacy and policing practices.

Why now: The ruling directly affects digital privacy rights and how police can use technology to track people's locations.
