The Supreme Court is deciding if "geofence" search warrants are legal. These warrants force big tech companies to share user location data. This practice changes how our digital privacy works in the United States.
Police use these warrants to find people at a crime scene. They ask companies like Google for phone location data. Critics say this search is too wide and breaks basic rights for everyone.
The main fight is about how the court views these warrants. Some argue the government searches first. This idea goes against old rules protecting personal data from being searched.
Justices are split on the case. They may allow these warrants if they keep the search small. This decision will change privacy for millions of people soon.
This case shows how location data is used by law enforcement. Know your rights now before these rules change your ability to keep private data safe.
