The Supreme Court on Friday put new restraints on law enforcement's access to the ever-increasing amount of private information about Americans available in the digital age.
In the specific case before the court, the justices ruled that authorities generally must obtain a warrant to gain access to cell-tower records that can provide a virtual timeline and map of a person's whereabouts.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote the 5 to 4 decision, in which he was joined by the court's liberal members. Each of the dissenting conservatives wrote separate opinions.

Not sure what North Korea has to do with my post (nothing has changed there except Trump gave Kim a handjob). But Trump, he lies so often that I would have to go outside and look for myself if he was soaking wet and said it was raining. He'd rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stay on the ground to tell the truth. With Trump everything is always about Trump.
I'm sure Trump dreams he cures cancer every night. And saves the world. And screws the world. And has statues erected of himself. And is emperor for life. And is a Viking.
