Police agencies still have to show relevance.

Reading the CNet report, once you get past the sensationalistic headlines, you read that investigators still have to prove relevance to the case. While it is a touchy subject, it's a bit soon to jump to conclusions that the 4th Amendment has been abolished, not yet anyhow.
The other thing to keep in mind, this capability has been available for 20 years or so. This is not a new topic, and to blame one administration and not any previous presidential administrations is just more "National Enquirer" reporting. I value my privacy as much, maybe even more than, the average person. How many times have you had to suffer through hearing about someone else's boring personal life because they are jaw-jacking on their cellphone? Privacy...go find a phone booth.
