"Landmark Ruling: Supreme Court Limits Government Access to Cellphone Location Data In a significant victory for digital privacy advocates, the US Supreme Court has sent back a geofence warrant in a Virginia bank robbery case, ruling that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy when it comes to their cellphone location data. The decision, handed down on Monday, has major implications for law enforcement's ability to access personal data without a warrant. The case centers around a man convicted of a bank robbery, with the government relying on a geofence warrant to obtain his location data from Google. The justices' ruling suggests that the government will need to meet a higher standard to access this sensitive information in the future."
