Surveillance doesn't necessarily require a warrant, if it's something like watching who's coming and going from a public vantage point. Wiretapping, reading mail, other eavesdropping would.

Triangulation seems very targeted and would require a warrant (which was the point of my comment).

Right but in this case I imagine they would have gotten a warrant that would give them the IMSI based on the IP in the first place.
