I'm pretty up on current events, but I did not know/recall what a geofence warrant is. It's the "what cellphones pinged here" search warrant:
A geofence warrant is a type of search warrant that allows law enforcement to collect location data from devices within a specific geographic area (the "geofence") during a particular time period. This warrant enables investigators to:
1. Identify devices present in the area
2. Collect location data, such as GPS coordinates or cell tower information
3. Link devices to specific locations and times
- cryptonector 2y agoIt's also "what devices Google saw in these areas at these times", which is much higher quality than cell tower triangulation.
- ImaCake 2y agoThe article appears to be deliberately obfuscating the definition to keep the reader hooked for longer. The link to the article that describes a geofence is even more transparent about it.
