<p>Cell phones have become an integral part of everyday life, used by a majority of Americans. These phones use towers to connect you to the network. As you move locations your cell connects to the nearest tower. This connection leaves a trail that tells the story of where you&#8217;ve been and at what times. This information is then stored and could at some point be used by the Government.</p><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The question is then raised: Is this cell phone &#8220;fingerprint&#8221; information protected by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution">Fourth Amendment of the Constitution</a>? &#8220;The Fourth Amendment requires governmental searches and seizures be conducted only upon issuance of a warrant, judicially sanctioned by probable cause supported by oath or affirmation&#8221;.</p>
<p>This argument is going in front of the Supreme Court this week in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States">Carpenter v US</a></p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div>

<p>As oral arguments are presented to the Supreme Court this week, Justices will soon face the challenging question as to whether cell information is protected or is this information simply a modern-day fingerprint.</p>

Will the Supreme Court decide if cell phones are the fingerprint of the future?
