U.S. appeals court upholds warrantless collection of phone location data

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit rules that warrantless disclosure of cell site data violates the Fourth Amendment. Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Court: Cell site information is clearly a business record collected by the service provider for its own business purposes. The dispute hinged around whether law enforcement agents can access cell site information with a relatively easy-to-obtain order under section 2703 (d) of the Stored Communications Act. People are not promoting the release of personal information to others when making disclosures to phone companies, court said in unanimous ruling.”]
