What is the right standard for these warrants? I ask from a position of ignorance. In an older technology, I thought I understood it. If the police ask all storekeepers on the block for security camera recordings, and then watch the recordings to see who was there around the time the bad act occurred, using that as a key to further investigations, it is not problematic in and of itself. Is this right? All it proves is that someone was there, which could be either a little or a lot of what eventually gets proved in court. And focusing investigative resources on people who were there seems sane. Is this right?
What is the principled difference between "the police saw me there on video just before the bad act" and "the police saw in a database that my phone was there just before the bad act"? If these questions are too dumb to answer, but there is something I could easily read, I'd appreciate a link! Learn a lot from reading you guys.
