Cellphone records can tell exactly how many people were close to all of these incidents.

So we get a search warrant for every cell phone in a five mile radius ?

Or do we get a search warrant for all cell phones in the county ?

Or do we just say the hell with it and get the records without a warrant ?

The fourth ammendment is just a pesky little part of that old document that nobody pays attention to anymore.

No, they don't pay attention. These cell phone records are pretty much considered public records. Cell phone companies have written applications for the police so they would quit bothering them with requests.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think this battle is lost. It seems to be considered the phone company's data, who can share it with anyone they like.
