Law enforcement had obtained his location data from a phone provider without a search warrant, arguing the provider already had his data and Carpenter had no &#8220;reasonable expectation of privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the court found the government&#8217;s warrantless access to cell-site records over a period of time &#8220;contravenes that expectation&#8221; of privacy, said Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that such information is gathered by a third party does not make it any less deserving of Fourth Amendment protection,&#8221; said Chief Justice John Roberts, who delivered the decision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because location information is continually logged for all of the 400 million devices in the United States &#8212; not just those belonging to persons who might happen to come under investigation &#8212; this newfound tracking capacity runs against everyone,&#8221; said Roberts.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;Only the few without cell phones could escape this tireless and absolute surveillance,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The court stressed that the decision does not consider real-time tracking, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/heres-how-many-data-requests-the-u-s-govt-made-for-customer-cell-data-last-year-hint-its-a-lot\/\" target=\"_blank\">so-called &#8220;tower dumps,&#8221;<\/a> which police use to obtain information on all of the devices connected to a cell tower at during a particular period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts added that the government&#8217;s argument &#8220;fails to contend with the seismic shifts in digital technology that made possible the tracking of not only Carpenter&#8217;s location but also everyone else&#8217;s, not for a short period but for years and years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police may, however, still obtain this data without a warrant in exigent circumstances, such as if there is an immediate threat or danger to life.<\/p>\n<p>Nate Wessler, an attorney with the ACLU who fought the case, said the decision was a &#8220;groundbreaking victory for Americans&#8217; privacy rights in the digital age.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/your-smartphone-can-be-tracked-even-if-gps-location-services-are-turned-off\/\">Your smartphone can be tracked even if GPS, location services are turned off (TechRepublic)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/blog\/privacy-technology\/location-tracking\/right-keep-personal-data-private-carpenter-v-us\">to the ACLU<\/a>, every time a phone makes or receives a call or text message, &#8220;the phone company logs and retains a record of the phone&#8217;s location based on the cell tower and cellular antenna the phone was connected to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The volume and precision of that location data has increased over time, and today, cellphone location data can paint a detailed picture of where we go over the course of days, weeks, and months,&#8221; said the civil liberties group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/blog\/privacy-technology\/location-tracking\/right-keep-personal-data-private-carpenter-v-us\">in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the case ran on, with lawyers contesting the police violated the Fourth Amendment, which is supposed to protect against unwarranted searches and seizures.<\/p>\n<p>Legal followers of the case have long seen the decision as a ruling on exactly what &#8220;reasonable expectation of privacy&#8221; means.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;third-party doctrine&#8221; was established because there is no constitutional protections for data voluntarily shared with businesses, like phone records. Although an established legal principle, it&#8217;s fallen to shaky ground. Justice Sonia Sotomayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/11pdf\/10-1259.pdf\">wrote<\/a> in 2011 that as phones become more ubiquitous, the third-party doctrine becomes &#8220;ill suited to the digital age.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tech companies, including Apple, Facebook, and Google, filed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-court-mobilephone\/tech-companies-urge-supreme-court-to-boost-cellphone-privacy-idUSKCN1AV1B3\">briefs in the case<\/a>, arguing users should be protected because, today more than ever, data stored on phones can reveal a wealth of sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/verizon-is-cutting-off-its-location-data-sharing-contracts\/\">Verizon, AT&amp;T are cutting off location-data sharing contracts (CNET)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That users rely on technology companies to process their data for limited purposes does not mean that they expect their intimate data to be monitored by the government without a warrant,&#8221; said the brief.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy and civil liberties advocates praised the court&#8217;s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>ACLU deputy legal director Cecillia Wang <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WangCecillia\/status\/1010166338403295232\">tweeted<\/a> that the decision is a &#8220;civil liberties victory.&#8221; Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) called the ruling &#8220;a big win for privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alex Abdo, senior staff attorney at the Knight Institute, said the ruling &#8220;places important limits on the government&#8217;s surveillance power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department declined to comment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relatedContent alignNone\" readability=\"7.2083333333333\">\n<p class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@zackwhittaker\/how-to-contact-me-securely-38dc5c5bc756\" data-omniture-track=\"moduleClick\" data-omniture-track-data=\"{&quot;moduleInfo&quot;: &quot;pinbox&quot;, &quot;pageType&quot;: &quot;article&quot;}\">Got a tip?<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dek\">You can send tips securely over Signal and WhatsApp at 646-755\u20138849.
