Wonder if this case will make google backtrack on their move to purge all location data from their users server-based location histories?

So, the police can't use the cell tower, but they can use Google's location data, which is arguably higher quality anyway? I guess I'll take the small win, but I'd prefer the police don't have access to any type of blanket warrant.

One decision is by the fourth circuit, the other is the fifth. I don't know enough about the details, but in situations like this, the Supreme Court takes the case to resolve discrepancies.
