If this holds, can cops still ask for whether a specific phone number was present on a cell tower at a certain time? I can't tell if it's the breadth of the data collection that's unconsitutional because it catches lots of innocent people's data; or if it's the concept of using cell towers altogether.

There's discussion of this on pages 12–13 of the judge's opinion. https://plover.com/~mjd/misc/cell-tower-dump-opinion.pdf https://plover.com/~mjd/misc/cell-tower-dump-opinion.pdf
