I would argue that the geofencing method collects a far greater number of people in the initial sweep, and has way more potential for misuse or straight out abuse. IMO, there are too many examples of law enforcement abusing their power, even lying and fabricating evidence, for the sake of arresting somebody, so they can close a case? I don't think they can be trusted with sweeping technologies like arbitrary geofence warrants or even (flawed) facial recognition.

I think in certain extreme cases I would be ok with geofence warrants, but as the article mentions they are being used with increasing regularity.
