Hey, Garrison.

Happy to be here again.

If there was a protest and you wanted to know the identities of all the protesters, you could get a geofence warrant for the area of that protest for the time of the protest.

Or if there was a bank robbery, which happens here, right?

You get a geofence warrant for two locations you think the bank robber might have been in.

And then companies, any random company, you or I could set up a company to sit at these real-time bidding centers and just kind of gather all this data and never make any bids for that data, never spend any money, just gather all that data of pairing people's mobile advertising IDs with their location information.

So what they do is they sell this information to police.

Police can then buy access to this information.

And this is another thing that gets confused with geofencing a lot, but it's a different type of geofencing.

They can sort of draw a circle around a specific area, and WebLock will show them all of the information they have about phones that have been in that area recently or during a specific time period.

But that's a very common method of tracking.

The other way that they get data is just through codes that they embed in certain ad libraries that will get them that data sort of the same way, but without going through the real-time bidding process.

But it's still data being given to them basically by ad libraries that they pay a bit of money for to the ad company or whatever.

The big loophole that law enforcement has been exploiting, locally we call it the data broker loophole, right?

But given the wording of the opinion here, specifically around people's location data being very, very much private data, I think that there's a reasonable argument to bring a case to the Supreme Court about the sale specifically of cellular location data.

So that's, I mean, I think that's a pretty big point in favor of shutting down the loophole for location data.

any sort of mass surveillance, any sort of dry net surveillance.

But that's exactly what this is.

And so they ruled that you needed a warrant to get that location data, which was a really excellent ruling.

this case was brought to the court on the basis of that Carpenter versus the United States ruling.
