Supreme Court restricts use of geofence warrants

In a landmark 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement agencies can't use geofence warrants without a judge's approval, a technique that tracks digital footprints across multiple locations. Justice Elena Kagan emphasized that geofencing violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches. This ruling could reshape how police conduct digital surveillance, adding an important layer of privacy protection and sparking debate on balancing public safety and individual rights in the digital age.
