A lovely little turn of events which will have far reaching Government Authority Abuse outcomes:
Police don't need warrant for your phone location data, court finds - CNET
So, Why do I care if the Cops know where my Cell Phone Goes? If I am following the Law, who Cares? Right?
Well.......
If they can search you without cause or even your knowledge that the search was performed, then they can use that information in abusive ways!
You would be assuming that if the Police can do a thing, that only GOOD COPS are going to be using it!
Obama, Louis Lerner, Eric Holder, Jon Gruber, and Loretta Lynch has taught U.S. there is NOTHING beneath the Left!
What if the Radical Lefties want a List of WHO supports the TEA Patriots?
Easy enough to search cell records for who went to a Rally, based on cell phone location records.
Easy enough to find out who visits Gun Stores.
Easy enough to find out who attends Christian Mass.
Easy enough to find out who Does NOT go to Gay Bars.
Easy enough to find out who shows up to VOTE.
And then use and abuse that Knowledge to persecute their political ENEMIES.
If a thing can be done, the Lefties will figure out a way to abuse it for their increase in POWER!
------------------------------------------------------------
So... What to do about it?
Here's a start:
Put your phone in Airplane mode.
Turn off the Location based Services.
Use a location faker piece of software to make it appear that you never leave the house.
If you pull jury duty, refuse to convict any person who was investigated using warrant-less location information.
Vote out any judge who allows warrant-less location information to be used in his/her court.
Question for Debate:
What will YOU do about the new abuse of Power and Violation of your Constitutional Rights?

[h=1]Police don't need warrant for your phone location data, court finds[/h]The ruling ends a split between the courts on whether asking a company for location data provided by users requires a warrant.
by Luke Lancaster May 31, 2016
The US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that police asking a company to provide phone location data offered up by users does not represent a search under the Fourth Amendment and can be done without a warrant.
It's commonplace for many apps to request access to your location data, and the ruling was based on an earlier Supreme Court precedent that information volunteered to a third party is fair game.
Judge Wynn, a dissenting voice on the court, mirrored the concerns of privacy advocates:
"Only time will tell whether our society will prove capable of preserving age-old privacy protections in this increasingly networked era. But one thing is sure: this Court's decision today will do nothing to advance that effort."
