We could rely on the Supreme Court but I'm skeptical that they will put the public interest above the government's interests. I think a new Bill of Rights will be needed if there is sufficient outcry over abuses.

Indeed, Gorsuch seems poised to build upon the jurisprudence of his predecessor, Justice Antonin Scalia, to establish real constitutional limits on the government’s ability to track our movements through our mobile devices.
