On April 18, 2019, Jennifer Lynch with the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) wrote an article about Google’s Sensorvault, a database Google keeps that records location data of its users. The Sensorvault is a valuable tool for Google, and as it turns out, an invaluable tool for law enforcement as well. How? Well, it starts with what amounts to a blank search warrant that an incompetent judge signs off on, requiring Google to release data to law enforcement that spans a time period (up to about a week) and a geographic region.

I’ve spent the last ten years of my life becoming fully involved in Information Technology. I started my Bachelor’s degree in IT around April of 2009, unclear what direction I would take, only knowing that I would complete my degree as quickly as possible to become better employable, and hopefully secure my future. Early on in my studies, I became fascinated with databases - construction, querying, and the power they have on the modern world.
