I'm not sure if that really matters anymore. So much data is being collected on everybody all the time that the government doesn't need a warrant to collect the information because they generally aren't the ones collecting it. The police often can just ask the individuals and companies that are actually collecting the data to see what they have. They might be told to come back with a warrant and that warrant is super easy to get.
A guy in my neighborhood set up a license plate reader outside of his house. He logs all the traffic into and out of the neighborhood. I would bet the police would just have to ask him for the data and he would turn it over. I believe his data helped catch a couple that was stealing Amazon packages during the day.
