Supreme Court rules warrant required for cell tower records
The court, by a 5-4 vote led by Chief Justice Roberts, held that authorities generally must obtain a warrant to access cell-tower location data. Timothy Carpenter, serving a 116 year sentence for robberies, won protection as the records reveal a detailed timeline of his movements. The decision marks a tech-evolving Fourth Amendment alignment, noting that data from third parties does not erase privacy protections. Modern cellphones are more than convenience, likened to cameras and diaries in the opinion.

Judge refuses to dismiss Manafort money laundering charge
A federal judge in Washington denied moves to drop a money laundering count against Paul Manafort. The ruling compounds Mueller’s Russia probe as Manafort faces separate indictments in Washington and Virginia over alleged unregistered foreign lobbying, bank and tax fraud, and witness tampering. Prosecutors say he laundered proceeds from Ukraine lobbying without proper foreign agent registration.
