Step-by-step explanation:
Technology and laws are constantly evolving. The U.S. Supreme Court recognizes some privacy protections when it comes to tracking cellphones, but the law lags far behind new technology capabilities and law enforcement surveillance techniques.
Electronic devices track and store an amazing amount of data regarding our personal lives, including location data. Our cellphones, smart devices (phones, watches), and even cars know our almost every move. What privacy protections, if any, does the Fourth Amendment provide when it comes to the government accessing this data? Does law enforcement need a search warrant? As the typical legal answer goes, it depends.
