Police in Richmond, Virginia, had no leads after an armed bank robbery in 2019, so they got a “geofence” warrant — a novel type of warrant that allowed them to request Google location data from all devices that had been near the bank around the time of the crime. That data helped authorities identify Okello Chatrie, whom they arrested and charged in federal court. But Chatrie argues that the geofence warrant violated his Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.

United States about whether the police’s use of digital dragnets is consistent with the Fourth Amendment.
