Submission + - Judge Nixes Warrantless Cell Phone Loc Data (arstechnica.com)

poena.dare writes: The government sought warrantless access to 113 days of location data for a Verizon Wireless customer. On Monday, a judge refused the request, ruling that cell phone users have an expectation of privacy in location information. "There is no meaningful Fourth Amendment distinction between content and other forms of information, the disclosure of which to the Government would be equally intrusive and reveal information society values as private," said Judge Nicholas Garaufis. Privacy advocates in DC will be cheering as soon as they climb out from under their desks!

What kind of god would admit to creating us? -- Pyrrho the Skeptic Computers are useless. They can only give answers. -- Pablo Picasso We don't care where you put it . . . we're totally against it. -- Edward L. Yingling, American Bankers Association, 8 March 2010, when asked which federal department should be in charge of the CPA. The code of tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. - In law firms, we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following: buying a stronger whip; changing riders; saying things like 'this is the way we have always ridden this horse'; appointing a committee to study the horse; arranging to visit other firms to see how they ride dead horses; increasing the standards to ride dead horses; declaring that the horse is better, faster, and cheaper dead; and finally, harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed. -- Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, 16 February 1999
