Here's How It Works

Here’s how it works: cops send Google specific coordinates and timezones within which crimes were committed. Then Google is asked to provide information on all users within those locations at those times, most likely including data on many innocent people. Those users could be Android phone owners, anyone running Google Maps or any individual running Google services on their cell, not just criminal suspects. [More]
Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, what's the problem with the state keeping tabs on your whereabouts? Or listening in...?

How's that "temporary safety" thing working out?

Kinda makes you wonder where the due process exists in that transaction
