The FBI’s “alarming” use of general warrants to scoop up the private location data of the devices of thousands of people on Jan. 6, 2021, was a violation of the Fourth Amendment that enabled an illegal four-acre dragnet to generate criminal charges without probable cause, defense attorneys argue in federal court filings.
In the wake of the protests and violence at the U.S. Capitol, the FBI served search warrants on technology giant Google Inc. and telecommunication companies, including AT&T.

So what? The DC judges are going to send you to jail for 20 years even if you got a parking ticket on Jan 6th.
Unless SCOTUS insists that these folks be released immediately, they'll continue to lie in Democrat run gulags for a long, long time.

I'm unable to access the article but I'm wondering from just reading the 'blurb' above that if the FBI can find thousands of people who all had cell phones in D.C. on jan.6th by using technology could they also find and identify people who attend Trump rallies? Chilling indeed.

#2: I suspect so. Leave your phone at home or buy a burner phone at WalMart for the day and pay cash. Don't pay for anything with a card and don't use EZ pass to get there.
Discouraging we have to think like master criminals to see Trump.

#2. That would help but they are probably monitoring those of us who visit Lucianne, Breitbart plus other conservative forums. They have to keep up with these dangerous insurrectionists like this 82 year old coot.

2020 was a coup, and the J6 roundup was a banana republic baton beatdown, and imprisonment of those that came to DC to protest the election theft.

If/when this case gets up to the Supreme Court, Democrats, liberals, and assorted media will use any ruling against the FBI geofence dragnet use of tech information as proof that the SC Justices are right wing lunatics incapable of making unbiased decisions. Even if the decision is 9-0, they will claim that the SC is so badly corrupted that the current conservative justices must be impeached immediately and more liberal justices must be added immediately to "balance" the court.

So if you plan on going to any Trump rally from now on, pull the battery out of your phone...I no longer trust ANY 3 letter government agency, and some of the 4 letter ones as well.... :(

Good advice poster #3, but remember...when buying that burner phone at Walmart, be sure to wear a face mask and a good pair of dark sunglasses so the FBI can't use some facial recognition technology to find you. Just dress like all the people rioting on campuses against Israel.

Judge: "Yes it did. I don't care. The fourth amendment does not exist in this courtroom. You are all guilty. I am petitioning the District to reinstate the death penalty. When they respond to my petition, I will schedule the sentencing."
