Normally, search warrants are carried out with probable cause and tied to a specific suspect or address. Geofence warrants allow for sweeping searches across areas. If a company complies with the warrant, it will have to provide details on all devices in a specific area at a specified time. That means investigators don't just get data on a person they'd consider to be a suspect, but also information on everyone else who happened to be at the same place at the same time. |

Speaking of geofencing, I just saw where in EU (for now) hybrid vehicles will be set to EV mode when they enter a city area that is prohibited to ICE vehicles. This will be the law in a few years over there. So it will know when you enter and if you turn on the ICE mode it will presumably mail you a ticket. The future does not look great. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

What is scary is how many people like this kind of thing. They trust their government for some reason. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Although falsely attributed to Jefferson, it is still valid The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
