It Could Happen Here Weekly 241
Summary
Host Garrison Davis and EFF technologist Cooper Quinton analyze the Supreme Court’s ruling that geofence warrants constitute Fourth Amendment searches. They discuss how this decision limits police access to location data from tech companies like Google, potentially challenging the third-party doctrine. The episode also covers the "data broker loophole," advertising-based tracking, and the declining use of cell site simulators following previous privacy rulings.
