That is not what the NSA and FBI have argued. Ghazkuul wrote:If you tried to view a US persons meta data without a Warrant you would lose your security clearance and face an internal review.
That's all well and good but honestly I don't care what an agency's policies are if there is not clear legal protection beyond that policy, which is currently not the case. Ghazkuul wrote:Trust me, their aren't enough analysts in the world to monitor even 1/100th of a city, nobody is actively searching your information for S&G
But it could be done and currently it could be done without a warrant and the resulting information could be used against me or any one else as evidence at court.

Then you clearly don't understand how metadata can be used as evidence. If you've called a "suspicious" person then maybe you're guilty of a crime too. And hey, your phone was turned off (probably to disable any attempts to track your location) at around the time a murder was committed, so that's really making you look bad. Have fun spending the next few months trying to defend yourself in court, and you'd better hope the investigation doesn't turn up anything else that looks suspicious.

No, you're completely missing the point of how this works. If metadata is not protected by the fourth amendment then no warrant, the police can just take the metadata for all cell phone activity in the US and search it to see if there's anything suspicious. If a warrant is required then the police first have to establish a reasonable belief that you're guilty of a particular crime and that your metadata is potential evidence. There's a huge difference between having to identify a specific target for a search and searching everyone just to see if you can find anything.

Ground Positioning Device?
Edit
I might have over read this topic Dae.....gist of it?
I believe it's Global Positioning System, at least with respect to civvy acronyms. Yours of course may vary. It's based upon satellites broadcasting their position in orbit. That part is pretty obvious and you probably know it. The thing is, that's radio being sent to your device receiving it. You don't HAVE to respond to anything to make use of it. In fact, the satellites don't care and probably couldn't receive a transmission from you from ground anyway if they wanted to, at least, not from something that you can safely stick in your pocket. For an example, see the Garmin units from the 90's. I don't know if GLONASS (the Russian GPS) works the same way, but that's how ours works.
Google et al have you send your location to them, and then they run the algos server side to (track you) give you your locations/targeted ads. You could have a client that instead gets the node map with cost for each node (distance to traffic intersection) and makes the best decision for the area, still giving you reasonable time estimates without actually giving the goodies away. This way costs admittedly more bandwidth, but at the end of the day, that's not the reason it's done that way.

Except it is hard, because you have to establish probable cause first. If you don't need a warrant then you can simultaneously search every single person in the US without having to identify any particular target of the search. Needing a warrant won't save you if the police have picked you as the target of their investigation, but it can stop you from becoming a target in the first place.
And heres the best part, everything you just said is called "circumstantial evidence" and holds about as much water in court as a sieve.
You really don't understand how criminal trials work. And even if the evidence is weak and you aren't convicted you still had to pay your lawyers, sacrifice a lot of your time, lose your job because nobody wants to hire a potential murderer, etc.

#1: False, the NSA and FBI have argues that they need the ability to store the data, to review it needs the Warrant. Again, GO READ FISA and EO 12333
#2: Their is a very clear legal protection, its is that the information is INADMISSIBLE IN COURT if a warrant was not used in the collection of the information.
#3: No it literally could not be done. The NSA would need to expand itself about 100 fold and it still wouldn't be big enough to track even a percentage of America. Therefore along with the reasons given in #2 the information could not be used as evidence in court unless a search warrant was issued allowing the police to gather that information....which they could get from your phone company easily enough.. and food for thought, your phone companies have actively sold persona information in the past to private businesses. Maybe its not the government you should be worried about :-p

In theory. But if we establish that cell phone metadata is not protected by the fourth amendment then they don't need access to the NSA's work, they can just get their own copy of the metadata.

I don't think you understand what "literally" means. Tracking every single person in the US is a problem of computing power once you have unrestricted access to the information you need. It might not be possible right now, but as available computing power continues to increase the number of people you can track increases as well. Eventually you reach a point where "track everyone in the US" is a $0.99 app on the latest iThing.

So no gak here I am, sitting at the ol' computer searching for a news article from a specific local newspaper for a school assignment due tomorrow morning and I come across this:
http://www.thenewstribune.com/2015/05/11/3786478/new-law-requires-warrants-for.html
for the TL;DR crowd... the State of Washington has now passed a law that states that if police agencies wish to use a Cell Simulator, such as those talked about at length ITT, they must get a warrant first.

I don't think you understand what literally means, because I just used it correctly. Their are not enough analysts in the world to monitor even a small fraction of the Cell phone network. yes a computer can track all sorts of fun things and store meta data, but that data IS USELESS unless an analyst is utilizing it.

You would know if you had bothered to read this thread that according to the third-party doctrine, individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy in information voluntarily disclosed to a third party and therefore obtaining such information does not constitute a search for the purposes of the Fourth Amendment and therefore obtaining that information does not require a warrant.

ok dude you officially just broke my interest in trying to debate you. EO 12333 Is also known as EXECUTIVE ORDER 12333 as in, the president of the united states. FISA and EO12333 spell out how intelligence agencies such as the NSA can target US and Foreign citizens. Since you clearly didn't bother to even remotely look into those documents and instead are spouting off nonsense I am done. continue with your random internet fear mongering without bothering to look up the facts.

You really don't understand how this works. The metadata is a database of locations/phone numbers/etc. You can save everything and search it for "interesting" items like "people in the area of X crime" or "making phone calls from store parking lots after normal business hours" when you have a crime to solve. Or you can make a program that monitors the database in real time for "interesting" events and highlights them for a person to review. The fact that you can't have each person in the US followed 24/7 by their personal intelligence analyst is irrelevant.

No. With a closet full of servers in significant (Tier 1/2 networks and places like google/facebook), private lines, and significant (by current standards) data center somewhere, or a couple even scattered around the country, they could do it pretty easily. The most significant limitation is knowing what to look for to get useful information from it.
Big Data is easy. Finding the needle in a haystack is where the money is.

Why do you assume analysis has to be done by a human being?
Okay, I work for a major news organization. We're not the AP, but we're on par with the AP. We deal with many gigabytes of data being sent in a single day. I can tell you tomorrow morning about what areas today have the most news trending, who the data is coming from, and the most common topics being discussed, and I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm not touching a keyboard to make any of this happen. I could probably tell you sooner if I was inclined to dig my laptop out, but I don't work for free. I can do this with about $30k worth of servers, and my laptop. Now scale the budget a couple orders of magnitude.

@Ghazkuul The President does not have the authority to either make or interpret the law. He can only direct agencies as to how it should be enforced. Those policies and regulations are not the same thing as legal protections. It's funny that you accuse me of not bothering to look up "the facts" when I demonstrably know them and you apparently do not (despite so much of it already being conveniently posted ITT). EO 12333 nowhere requires an actual warrant; it purports to delegate to the Attorney General the power to approve surveillance within the US that would normally require a warrant where the Attorney General determines there is probable cause that the target is a foreign power or agent thereof (for example, a US citizen or resident that the NSA suspects to be a terrorist contrary to FISA; thank goodness for FISA and the Patriot Act /sarcasm). Which is to say, the only probable cause invoked is (1) not judicially ratfied (required for a valid warrant) and (2) does not even appertain to the search in question but rather to a characteristic of the target. Oh and here is the Second Circuit summary of the parties' respective positions on the constitutional issue of warrants: Appellants contend that the seizure from their telephone service providers, and eventual search, of records of the metadata relating to their telephone communications violates their expectations of privacy under the Fourth Amendment in the absence of a search warrant based on probable cause to believe that evidence of criminal conduct will be found in the records. The government responds that the warrant and probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment are not implicated because appellants have no privacy rights in the records.
(emphasis added) ... which, incidentally, we have been thoroughly discussing for days now ITT ...

It really annoys me when someone who doesn't know what they are talking about interrupts an interesting conversation between professionals.

Congress has changed some things, but there is still some time to collect some data until the law goes into effect:
U.S. Appeals Court Overturns Decision That NSA Metadata Collection Was Illegal
A three-judge panel for a U.S. appeals court has thrown out a lower-court decision that sought to stop the NSA from continuing to collect metadata on phone calls made by Americans.
The lower court ruling had found that the practice was unconstitutional.
In some ways, this decision is much less important now that Congress has passed a law that changes the way metadata is collected by the government. If you remember, after a fierce battle, both houses of Congress voted in favor of a law that lets phone companies keep that database but still allows the government to query it for specific data.
The three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia still decided to take on the case, because that new program doesn't begin until 180 days after the date that law was enacted (June 2, 2015).
Until then, and as a result of this decision, the NSA is allowed to continue with its metadata collection program.
The court reversed a decision by Judge Richard Leon and sent it back to him for further proceedings.
This court did not make its decision on Constitutional terms; instead, it ruled that the plaintiffs did not have standing to receive a preliminary injunction. The court sent the case back to Judge Leon to see if the plaintiffs could cobble up more evidence showing they are being directly targeted by the bulk collection program.
The complication there is the U.S. government has in the past refused to turn over that evidence, claiming it is secret.
