Rather than obtaining a warrant, the bureau purchased sensitive data -
a controversial practice that privacy advocates say is deeply
problematic.
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has acknowledged for
the first time that it purchased US location data rather than obtaining
a warrant. While the practice of buying people's location data has
grown increasingly common since the US Supreme Court reined in the
government's ability to warrantlessly track Americans' phones nearly
five years ago, the FBI had not previously revealed ever making such
purchases.
