Google Gives Feds 1,500 Phone Locations in Unprecedented ‘Geofence’ Search
Emotionally, when I hear things like this I think unconsciously I secretly want companies not to give data over ever. And really the companies shouldn't collect it (hackers also exist)..<p>However rationally I think there is a balance. Investigators need to do their jobs and chase every lead they can to catch criminals. I wonder if google could have complied with a query that simply grabbed the users in the areas during the 3 time periods combined.<p>Maybe we just need laws that limit how much data can be returned per warrant, to encourage more limited warrants.
