Supreme Court Rules Cell Location Data Protected
Court expands Fourth Amendment protections to digital data.
Event Overview
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Chatrie v. United States that cellphone location history is protected by the Fourth Amendment. The ruling originated from a 2019 bank robbery in Virginia where police used a geofence warrant to identify phones in a 17.5-acre area to find suspect Okello Chatrie. The Court determined that police must obtain a warrant to access this data, even from third parties like Google.
