“Google revealed for the first time in August that it received 11,554 geofence location warrants from law enforcement agencies in 2020, up from 8,396 in 2019 and 982 in 2018.”
Zachary McCoy went for a bike ride and became a burglary suspect because his phone was near the house. A geofence warrant does not start with a suspect. It starts with everyone in an area and works backward. The count went from 982 to 11,554 in two years. Google keeps the data, so police keep asking.
