I assume this will go all the way to the Supreme Court. Is issuing a warrant to do blanket search of cell tower data unconstitutional? | ||

I am not a lawyer but here it goes: If the target of the warrant itself is the carrier/telecom - probably constitutional, but I imagine there'd need to be a pretty good explanation. If the target of the warrant itself is a single customer of the carrier/telecom - Absolutely unconstitutional. E.g. You can't get the transaction history of every customer of a bank just because one of its customers is a suspect. (Edited for clarity.) | ||

“and the persons or things to be seized” suggests otherwise. NSLs wouldn’t be challenged this way. |
