Minn. Police Obtained Warrant From Google To Identify Floyd Protesters ASL Patriot Broadcast

Rough transcript:
Hello!

TechCrunch has learned that the police in Minneapolis obtained a search warrant ordering Google to turn over sets of account data on vandals accused of sparking violence in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd last year. The search warrant compelled Google to provide police with the account data on anyone who was “within the geographical region” of the AutoZone store when the violence began on May 27, two days after Floyd’s death. These requests from the law enforcement or government are usually referred to as geofence warrants. Sometimes it’s called a reverse-location warrant. Google gets them many times because they have collected and stored a huge number of geolocation data on billions of account holders who have “location history” turned on their phone. Geofence warrants allow police to cast a digital dragnet over a crime scene to help them narrow down suspects. Many people say this is a violation of their privacy as they walk around in the same area. How did people find out? Minneapolis resident Said Abdullahi, shared that he received an email from Google saying that his account information was subject to the warrant, and would be given to the police. Abdullahi said that he had no part in the violence and was only in the area to video the protests when the violence began at the AutoZone store.
The warrant specifically said that police were looking for account data from Google on any phone or device that was close to the AutoZone store and the parking lot between 5:20pm and 5:40pm (CST) on May 27, where dozens of the people in the area had gathered. Then when asked for the police’s comments on the warrant, Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder would not answer specific questions about the warrant, including for what reason the warrant was issued because of the ongoing investigation into this. It appears that they were trying to track down a major suspect. Police said they spent significant resources on trying to identify the so-called “Umbrella Man,” who they say was the catalyst for widespread violence across the city. When checking with Google, their position was this: When allowed by law, Google notifies account holders of when law enforcement demands access to the user’s data. According to a court filing in 2019, Google said the number of geofence warrants it received went up by 1,500% between 2017 and 2018, and more than 500% between 2018 and 2019, but has not provided any solid numbers. There were many people that experienced unnecessary interviews by the police just because they were in the area. I think I might turn off my Google Locations History now… You should also delete history. On my Android phone, I clicked pause location history, and then it says to go to maps.google.com/timeline to delete OLD data.
Will the government take over tech’s data to watch us? Time will tell…
