ANOTHER WIN FOR FEDS INVOLVING CELL PHONE LOCATION INFO

Federal agents win another one. "A Cincinnati-based federal appeals court yesterday ruled federal agents can obtain cell phone records that reveal a caller’s location without a warrant. The decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals follows an attempt from two Detroit men, sentenced to prison for multiple robberies, who argued the cell records linking them to the location of the robberies should be excluded under Fourth Amendment protection. Judge Raymond Kethledge said the government’s collection of the records did not constitute a search."

Two prior appeals courts ruled likewise. The U.S. Supreme Court needs to hear this case.
