The difference is that rather than a telco in the case of cellular devices, the system is owned and operated by the municipal government directly.

In the context of NYC in particular, it's more immediately concerning than usual because NYPD actually has a significant, funded intelligence division with the resources to use the data.

You don't need a search warrant for information freely given.
