When even the defense is saying that you don't actually need a warrant to search phone GPS records, only to conduct long-term nonspecific espionage then the goal-posts have moved so far beyond anything recognizable as rights and into a land of bizarre technicalities with arbitrary bright-lines in the sand completely devoid of the intented meaning of the bill of rights. Here's the only question they should be asking: did you get a warrant? No? Then fuck off.
If you want to submit evidence to convict someone in a court of law, you have to first demonstrate to an unbiased third party that you have the right to gather that evidence. The meaning of that amendment was plain to common people in 1791 and it means the same thing in 2017. Warrant first then you can use it as evidence.
