How it would it violate the 4th amendment to track the location of an individual's phone with their consent? If the location of the phone happens to be in another person's pocket, wouldn't that provide reasonable suspicion that a crime was committed, allowing the police to further investigate that individual?
I suppose the distinction is in how the police track the victim's phone.

If they're tracking it by scooping up all the cellphone traffic in an area, which they're alleged to have done here, then it triggers the privacy rights of the people who aren't involved and just happen to be in the area, and hence should be done with judicial oversight.
- fleitz 13y agoIf a phone is stolen in a mall do you think it's reasonable for police to setup checkpoints at all entrances and exits and body cavity search everyone who goes in and out with out judicial oversight based only on the assertions of the alleged victim? Or do you think a search like that might warrant judicial oversight?
