The number of cell phones and cell sites has dramatically increased in the last twenty years. Cell site location information (CSLI) paints a revealing portrait of a person’s movements. The number of law enforcement requests for location information – requests predominantly made without a warrant – is increasing. Certiorari is necessary to resolve the judicial split on whether a warrant is required to obtain CSLI, particularly as Americans expect these records to remain private.
