March 10th - Geofence, Gas Prices, and UF

 

So tell me, what do you know about Geofence warrants? Every moment of every day your phone is tracking you. A man in Gainesville became the suspect of a crime after his phone put him near the scene. He lived in that neighborhood and coincidentally biked past a burglarized home a few times within an hour. Police ordered a Geofence warrant to scoop up all the data of every device within a certain proximity of the home. Google, being the good guy and bad guy in this story, at least warned him of the police's attempt at his data before handing it over. He ended up getting a lawyer to sort everything out.

Gas prices are also expected to drop considerably here in Florida due to nobody traveling globally. Some areas could see less than $2 a gallon.
