Warrants aren’t losing their power, warrants are gaining power! Never before have you been able to issue a warrant to a phone company and get someone’s location in real time, to a tech company and get the copies of all their sent mail perfectly preserved, or to their bank or credit agency to get a record of nearly every transaction they have ever made. The rate at which new information available to law enforcement might be slowing down, but it is still increasing YoY even with encryption on the rise.
