“Because they merely obtained business records from a third party, the court says that the police didn’t invade Davis’s privacy.  Because there wasn’t a ‘search,’ the Fourth Amendment didn’t even apply.  Despite the court’s logic, something about this case still makes many observers feel uneasy. Even AT&T filed a brief in the case, arguing that the government’s actions were illegal. We all turn over huge amounts of information to third parties every day, and almost all of our activities can be tracked through our ‘smart’ devices. And as the amount of data that businesses collect on us grows, so do concerns over the government’s ability to access that data.”
