Supreme Court Limits Government's Use of Geofence Warrants Without Banning Them Outright

The Supreme Court has significantly restricted the government's ability to use geofence warrants, which allow law enforcement to identify individuals in specific geographic areas, but stopped short of declaring them unconstitutional. The ruling creates new constraints on how broadly authorities can deploy location-tracking technology in criminal investigations.

Why it matters: This decision directly impacts AI/surveillance technology deployment and sets precedent for how location data and algorithmic identification tools can be used by government agencies, affecting both privacy advocates and law enforcement practices.
