Police in North Carolina are using Google as an investigative tool to reveal the identity of every mobile user within areas, which includes both homes and businesses. They obtained warrants to force Google to hand over unique data from all mobile devices within acres of a crime scene. The cops got the idea after learning about a similar search warrant the State Bureau of Investigation obtained in Orange County, North Carolina. Out of the four area-based warrants, which would have swept up the data of thousands of innocent mobile device users, only one arrest was made.”]
