Minneapolis Police say that the looting and property damage started at one AutoZone in southern Minneapolis. To find out more, Police sent a warrant to Google to receive information on all Google accounts that were \u201cwithin the geographical region\u201d of the AutoZone in a twenty minute timeframe between 5:20pm and 5:40pm on May 27th, the day of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re only aware of the search warrant because an individual who had their information given to the police by Google, Said Abdullahi, received an email from Google letting him know that the information had been handed over. Abdullahi then turned this information over to TechCrunch, who were able to get their hands on the geofence warrant. This is part of Google\u2019s transparency push which alerts users when governments have accessed account information via a warrant or if an account has been the victim of suspected state actor hacking.<\/p>\n<p>In this particular reverse location search warrant, Google handed over information on hundreds of individuals. In their request, the police noted that they were really hoping to identify an individual known as \u201cUmbrella man\u201d who is shown on video starting the violence. Umbrella man hasn\u2019t been charged yet, and instead we have hundreds of people who have had their privacy violated simply for exercising their First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<h2>Reverse location search warrants are likely unconstitutional<\/h2>\n<p>A district court in Virginia has even previously found that reverse location search warrants \u2013 or geofence warrants \u2013 are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/federal-courts-rule-that-reverse-location-requests-by-police-violate-the-fourth-amendment\/\">unconstitutional because they violate the Fourth Amendment<\/a>.
