A Win For Americans On The Privacy Front

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has made a decision on the Obama administration's contention that the government does not need a court warrant to obtain cell site information that cell phone providers keep on their customers.  The court has told the administration that you are wrong!  The 4th Amendment protects us from this kind of crap.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has been asked to repeal the decision they made in August that the government needs a court warrant to attach GPS devices to vehicles to track a person's every move.  The reasoning the government gives is that Americans should expect no privacy in the totality of his/her movements in public places.
All of this shows how much the government cares about our rights - as if we needed a reminder.
