Police Now Authorized to Track You

Police across America now can track citizens through their cell phones – without a warrant – despite the Fourth Amendment’s ban on warrantless searches, according to a team of civil-rights lawyers at the Rutherford Institute. That’s the result of the U.S. Supreme Court deciding not to intervene in a lower court decision that authorized exactly that. “Americans are being swept up into a massive digital data dragnet that does not distinguish between those who are innocent of wrongdoing, suspects, or criminals.”
