Appeals Court Delivers Devastating Blow to Cellphone-Privacy Advocates
Courts across the country are grappling with a key question
for the information age: When law enforcement asks a company for
cellphone records to track location data in an investigation, is that a
search under the Fourth Amendment?
By a 12-3 vote, appellate court judges in Richmond, Virginia, on Monday ruled that it is not — and therefore does not require a warrant.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld what is known as the
third-party doctrine: a legal theory suggesting that consumers who
knowingly and willingly surrender information to third parties therefore
have “no reasonable expectation of privacy” in that information —
regardless of how much information there is, or how revealing it is.
Research
clearly shows that cell-site location data collected over time can
reveal a tremendous amount of personal information — like where you
live, where you work, when you travel, who you meet with, and who you
sleep with. And it’s impossible to make a call without giving up your
location to the cellphone company.
