About this episode

Michael discusses the implications of geofence warrants on privacy and public safety in light of a Supreme Court case.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Are geofence warrants - which sweep up the location data of everybody in an area - worth the risk to our privacy? Michael unpacks a pivotal Supreme Court case testing the limits of law enforcement in the digital age. After a Virginia bank robbery was solved using geofence data, the Court must now weigh public safety against constitutional protections. With unusual alliances emerging among the justices, the debate highlights broader concerns about surveillance, personal data, and the future of policing. Is this a necessary tool to catch criminals—or a dangerous precedent for privacy? Listen here, then vote, and please rate, review and share this podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
