A recent court decision has determined that the blanket data collection conducted by law enforcement through cell tower records constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment. This ruling, which emphasizes the need for proper search warrants and adherence to constitutional rights, could have significant implications for law enforcement practices across the nation.

Regardless of whether you are an AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile customer, your data can potentially be accessed without your consent.

In this case, the police had secured a warrant for the data collection; however, they argued that the information obtained did not constitute a "search" under constitutional law.
