The argument with Stringrays is that even with a warrant to target an individual the police end up sucking up a large amount of random people's location and cell phone data.
Like license plate readers and facial recognition, you're out in the world without the expectation of privacy but I think for most people that feels different when a giant automated system is sucking everything up without recourse.

We should have some expectation of privacy out in public and not allow a loophole of "oh, but we were looking for someone else but also saw you", it's a huge loophole with essentially no limits. A warrant should cover one "thing" a person, group, etc. Anything else grabbed in the process should not be admissible in court or even be used by the police.
