Educate yourselves.
People today are seldom separated from their cell phones and most people know that a cell phone can be āpingedā, to determine the location of the cell phone. You might not realize, however, that cell service providers not only know where you are, but also where youāve been.
The Court reasoned that a personās privacy interest in CLSI was even greater than the privacy interest that is breached when oneās vehicle is monitored by GPS. This is because most service providers keep this data for up to five years and it reveals your physical location all the time, not just when you drive your car.
This is what the government is saying. That evidence can be used to help prove a crime.
