A group of Minnesota lawmakers has proposed a bill to ban warrants allowing law enforcement to collect data from devices near a crime scene. The bill, introduced by Democrat state Sen. Erin Maye Quade and Republican Sens. Omar Fateh, and Eric Lucero, would also allow anyone whose information was obtained during the search to sue law enforcement. The lawmakers argue that reverse location warrants, sometimes called "geofence" or "dragnet" warrants, are too broad and violate Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Critics argue that authorities can gather data on thousands of people near a particular area, including those who attended an event that could be of interest to law enforcement, such as a protest. Law enforcement groups, including the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, argue that the bill is too broad. The proposal comes amid an ongoing case at the national level on the constitutionality of reverse location warrant requests.
