Cellphone Data Lawsuit Privacy Supreme Court

Supreme Court rules police need a warrant to access a suspect’s cellphone location data

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 today that police cannot freely access people’s cellphone location data, regardless if they are suspected for a crime.

Police have always needed court-approved warrants before searching people’s phones (due to the search and seizure protections under the Fourth Amendment), but they routinely breeched that protocol by accessing data from wireless carriers without a court’s permission.

What a bummer.

Kingsley-Hughes determined — based on Apple’s claim that an iPhone battery is “designed to retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles” — that his phone would hit 500 charges in about a year and a half.
