At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this The Daily Signal article, Fred Lucas details Justice Samuel Alito’s sharp dissent against the Supreme Court majority’s ruling narrowing law enforcement access to Google geofence location data in a bank robbery case.
- The 6-3 decision held that accessing cellphone location history constitutes a Fourth Amendment search requiring a warrant, with Justice Elena Kagan writing for a cross-ideological majority.
- Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett, blasted the ruling as an “irresponsible escapade” where the Court “struck a pose” as privacy champions without affecting the case outcome.
- The case involved Okello Chatrie, convicted of robbing a Virginia credit union using geofence warrants that compelled Google to provide location data from devices near the scene.
- Alito argued the majority sent “seismic waves” through Fourth Amendment doctrine but carefully avoided resolving the specific warrant’s validity, leaving it to lower courts.
- Law enforcement exhausted other leads before using the geofence tool, which helped identify and convict Chatrie of the $195,000 heist.
- The dissent underscores ongoing tensions over balancing digital privacy with effective policing against rising crime enabled by Big Tech data.
