SCOTUS ruled that ‘geofence warrants’ are a constitutional search. What does that mean for security and privacy in NYC?

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Chatrie v. United States that 'geofence warrants' requiring tech companies to identify devices in a specific area constitute a constitutional search under the Fourth Amendment. The decision raises concerns about privacy in New York as it could impact surveillance technologies like license plate data and facial recognition, with experts warning about potential 'tireless and absolute surveillance' through expanded data access by law enforcement.
