This article is crazy if you read it. If the quality of his requests felt real, especially from a non government email address, these things must cone in shitty all the time.

“Why was no warrant required for the data?”
“Why are police allowed to just ask for your personal info without a warrant”
What’s the point of warrants if they’re no longer needed?

That set it up so that the material handed over was in Verizon’s possession (business records) and Verizon gave permission.

It’s fairly easy to avoid giving your cellular carrier your address (get the bills sent to a PO box} or even your name (buy a prepaid phone with cash). But it’s harder to keep your call records or geolocation info away from them. :(

If you give the police permission to conduct a search, they do not need a warrant.
But she didn’t give permission.
Why does Verizon have the authority to give it for her?
