On the heels of the recent Supreme Court ruling on geofencing and how that violates the Fourth Amendment, a US district judge has now ruled that tower dump warrants also violates the Fourth Amendment. As a reminder, the Supreme Court ruled that your location data is protected by the Fourth Amendment.

That means the police cannot just pull your phone information via GPS without a warrant because it's considered a search, citing Carpenter v. United States

This Mississippi judge is essentially calling out police for using a loophole to still grab similar data from people and is trying to close it by saying that these tower dump warrants are too general because it still grabs your location data, which is therefore subject to probable cause and more specific warrants because it's considered a search which is protected by the Fourth Amendment.

The Supreme Court's ruling could potentially be setting Flock up for violating the same thing because Flock had previously leaned on Carpenter v. United States to claim that they are constitutionally protected and allowed to surveil and store people's data the way that they do.

But that was before the Supreme Court's recent ruling.”

“As much as there seems to be an uptick in surveillance systems and the digital panopticon being built around us, it also seems like there is a growing opposition towards all of this, and it seems to be quite effective”

Flock even on their own website sites Carpenter v. United States as justification to why they are constitutionally allowed to operate and collected their digital data

But now the Supreme Court is expanding digital data protection rights

Ban Flock Cameras from America
