Colorado court upholds Google keyword search warrant which led to arrests in fatal arson

Colorado’s highest court has upheld the search of Google users’ keyword history to identify suspects in a fatal arson fire.

Colorado upheld a warrant’s reverse keyword search for directions to a house. They claim the search warrant, which was overly broad and without individual probable cause, did not violate Google’s millions of US users’ fourth amendment protections, because the court said the police were acting in good faith under what was known about the law at the time.
