Supreme Court declines to require a warrant to get cell site data

“Cell-site tracking has become extremely important to crime fighting in the wake of the high court’s 2012 ruling that they need a warrant to place GPS trackers on vehicles. Equally important, in all the cases on the cell-site location tracking, the government argues that cell-site records are not constitutionally protected. Instead, the authorities maintain that they are business records that the telcos may hand over if the government asserts that reasonable grounds exist to believe the data is relevant to an investigation.”
