  • This ruling confirms that there is no other legal path to obtain that data which isn’t a warrant.

    Of course, you’re right that there are other ways to prove location, but the digital evidence (as in this case) would be suppressed and the jury would not hear it.

    The case that launched this Supreme Court decision is pretty textbook poison fruit. The subsequent search warrant which obtained the gun and cash was obtained specifically because of the geofence warrant. The lower court still has to determine the legality of the original warrant, but if it was found to be unreasonable (likely, overly broad) then all of the evidence including the custodial confession would be tossed.
