BREAKING (Good) News: SCOTUS rules the 4th Amendment applies to police use of "geofence warrants" when they search for unknown numbers of people in a large geographical area. In other words, your cell phone privacy data remains private and police need a specific warrant to search it. A big win for our civil rights and privacy rights.❤️✊🏽
