SCOTUS weighs privacy limits as geofence data enters the courtroom in Chatrie v. United States

In Chatrie v. United States, the Supreme Court wrestled with how much police can track people via cellphones using geofence data, with some justices sounding alarms about broad surveillance and others voicing law-enforcement concerns. Analysts expect a narrow ruling that preserves Carpenter-like warrant requirements but stops short of sweeping new protections, while questions about targeting political groups or other sensitive data may linger for future cases.
