The 4th ammendment protects us by saying there is no line. Your securities (that being your data as well) are only searchable if a judge so orders it and the executive branch deems it necessary for some criminal pursuit.


from the judge's decision:

Believing that Big Foot was carrying the 6447 phone, authorities obtained an order from
a federal magistrate judge on July 12, 2006
, authorizing the phone company to release
subscriber information, cell site information, GPS real-time location, and “ping” data for
the 6447 phone in order to learn Big Foot’s location while he was en route to deliver the
drugs.

That same day, agents “pinged” the 6447 phone and discovered that it was
currently located in Candler, North Carolina, the location of West’s primary residence.

...

Authorities then obtained a second order from
the magistrate judge
authorizing release of the same information for the 6820 phone,
which revealed that the phone was located near Flagstaff, Arizona.

By continuously “pinging” the 6820 phone, authorities learned that Big Foot left
Tucson, Arizona on Friday, July 14, 2006, and was traveling on Interstate 40 across
Texas.


they got two court orders allowing them to ping the phones. the phones respond to these pings with their GPS data.

what more do you want?
