    This will be seen as an inflection point in the history of the Fourth Amendment. We'll be talking about 4A law before-Carpenter and after-Carpenter for a long time, at least for cases involving technology.

    The US Supreme Court's decision today requiring a warrant before police can get information about your location generated by your cell phone is a victory for privacy -- and a recognition that unchecked government surveillance too easily becomes a tool of tyranny.

    The Supreme Court just ruled the government's decades-old practice of warrantlessly tracking your historical movements via cellphone records (CSLI) has in many cases violated the constitutional right to privacy. Major victory for ― and America.
