Rise of Reverse Warrants and Digital Data
Reverse warrants, particularly involving digital data like geolocation and search history, are on the rise in criminal investigations. Unlike traditional warrants targeting specific suspects, reverse warrants aim to obtain a list of suspects by searching massive amounts of information from digital service companies. For example, in a Colorado case, police used a search history reverse warrant from Google to identify suspects in an arson case. The use of reverse warrants raises questions about the Fourth Amendment, privacy rights, and the particularity of the information seized.
