Supreme Court says warrant necessary for phone location data in win for privacy

[Doc1]

"
The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of digital privacy.
In a 5-4 decision on Friday the justices decided that police need warrants to gather phone location data as evidence for
trials. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the Sixth Circuit court's decision.

Carpenter v. United States is the first case about phone location data that the Supreme Court has ruled on. That makes it a landmark decision regarding how law enforcement agencies can use technology as they build cases. The court heard arguments in the case on Nov. 29.

I don't believe you understand the case. It was ruled violative of Amendment IV for conducting a 127 day search of private phone records without a warrant.. Here is the Syllabus of the case I found on-line.
