A Detailed example of Cellphone and Camera Tracking in Idaho

From a comment on Bruce Schneiers post on Cellphone tracing and related technologies used by law enforcement to track suspect behavior, actual and inferred    This is regarding the recent Idaho murders.      Informative regarding how much and how the data was found.   And considerable privacy implications.

It’s very interesting looking at the Affidavit for the Idaho4 case from a privacy perspective. Here’s a link to the court filing. Much of the affidavit is a cell phone analysis combined with a surveillance camera analysis.

Note that there are many opsec (operations security) fails with this specific suspect: used his own car, did stakeouts with his cell phone turned on, turned his phone off at the specific time of crime… it shows how serious opsec has to be a lifecycle. Anyway.

I don’t know the burdens of a proof that permit getting warrants for this information; certainly its stemming from a legitimate investigation.  ...'
