State v. Contreras-Sanchez

Docket number
A22-1579
Date

The Minnesota Supreme Court held that under the state constitution, cell phone users have a reasonable expectation of privacy for their location data stored by Google and that law enforcement needs a particularized warrant before accessing that data. The majority declined to delay its state constitutional decision for the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve a similar pending dispute involving geofence warrants under the Fourth Amendment.
