- Good morning, Johann!
- Good morning, Karl.
- Johann, we have a problem. We need to track the movement of Mr. L. The problem is that he is a subject matter of another state, moreover, a diplomat. Official to follow him, we just will not give us.
- I understand. To track the data on the location of his smartphone, we will not be given without orders, and the order will not write down any judge. Do you want us to do it sad and quiet?
- Yes, Johann! This is the request of the emperor. You know ...
- In this case, we can use commercially available location records. Today, many applications for smartphones record the location of their users, and applications developers can aggregate data and sell them to brokers. And we can buy them, naturally, not on behalf of the service, but on behalf of a private company.
- It turns out that the special services buy commercially available databases containing location data from applications for smartphones and are looking for information about past movements of citizens without a warrant?
- Exactly! And thus bypassing the famous resolution of three years ago. Remember? The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution requires the Government to receive a warrant to force telephone companies to transmit data on their clients. But instead, the government can buy similar data from a broker - and does not believe that for this he needs a warrant.
- Yes, I remember such a resolution.
- Only the purchase should be naturally not on behalf of the Empire.
- Sure. Obviously, such actions can be repeated, which means we will have to organize or rather even buy an advertising company.
- Yes, and most likely not one.
- Thanks for the idea, Johann!
- Always happy to help! Formally, the state here is neither anyway.
It is so today the US state special services work, buying data on their citizens from private firms. Formally, the state does not follow their citizens. And in fact?
