Geofence warrants are analogous to getting a warrant for the check-in log at a hotel after a guest is murdered. So long as there is probable cause, this should not be a legal issue. See https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/probable_cause https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/probable_cause:
> A judge may issue a search warrant if the affidavit in support of the warrant offers sufficient credible information to establish probable cause.
When you use these types of technology, you are essentially checking in everywhere you go.
- the-dude 5y agoNot in my hometown in The Netherlands. We had a high profile murder by stabbing, a suspect and the police was denied the information you are talking about ( I think ). The case was high profile because the victim was in his early twenties and seemed to be stabbed 'at random' during his jogging.
- ghastmaster 5y agoDo you know why the information was not provided? What legal basis?
- ziddoap 5y agoNot agreeing or disagreeing, but the essential nuance here is your last few words: you're now checking-in literally everywhere, at all times. This makes the analogy of a hotel logbook a bit less apt (well, a lot less). If I check into a hotel, I'm not also checking in to every other store/attraction/place on that trip, as well as every few steps I take, as well as every place that I look up on a map to see if I want to visit (i.e. search history).
- nullc 5y agoGeofence warrants are more analogous to getting a warrant to check the surface thoughts of everyone in a certain area. We just don't yet have brain implants allowing our corporate overlords to directly log our surface thoughts yet, for now they only capture them via backscatter in our search queries.
