The issue is this is publicly available. Should the police be unable to buy a newspaper that contains a story important to an investigation unless they get a warrant?
Using this data should be illegal, but I don't see any quick and easy solutions. The data is public, and trying to bar police from accessing public data without a warrant is tricky.

Enough people need to be convinced that requiring police to present a warrant to purchase cellular location data is good for them. I would rather see the sale of location data made illegal. Then legitimate businesses would stop selling it.
