Are you curious how they participated or why?
I'm thinking more about cell phone data as it relates to probable cause. I'm sure there is some precedent that permits this kind of evidentiary process, but I was a little surprised. Typically, a search warrant is required to enter someone's home and that search warrant requires probable cause for it to be issued. In this case, can the Fed's evidentiary process start with Google data to reduce the scope of perpetrators or do the Feds have to first find probable cause before they can get Google data? Or is our location information not treated the same as our home?

That’s a lot more details, thanks for posting it. That first article is definitely misleading.I am glad they were caught but the headline is miss leading, this happened 8-10 miles from the park. How far away from the park do they need to be before they are not yellowstone grizzles/wolves?
This gives a little more to the story
Idaho father and son sentenced after killing grizzly bear
The dead grizzly sow shot by Jared and Rex Baum was originally discovered on April 9, 2021, after Fish and Game Officers and staff accompanied by a Fremont County Deputy responded to a mortality signal emanating from the radio collar of a research grizzly bear.
Shot at it 40+ times with Ruger 57s? Wow!I am glad they were caught but the headline is miss leading, this happened 8-10 miles from the park. How far away from the park do they need to be before they are not yellowstone grizzles/wolves?

I don't know the proper terminology but the warrant is for a "net" of pings from cell phone towers and the location service on phones. Basically, as I understand it the information obtained is the phones that were in the area at the time. The data is phone number of device in the area. The probable cause is the crime committed in area at approximate time. I think privacy issues are by passed because it is "meta" data not personal info (other than phone number)
I did a little googling and it sounds like a lot of this is up in the air. Some states have instituted statutes against using cell data for reverse searches, Montana being one. Idaho however doesn't. Given that this was a federal crime, I doubt the state statutes apply anyway.
This is such a non sequitir. Drivers licenses are revoked for traffic offenses. Convicted felons can’t have firearms or vote. Sex offenders can’t be near schools.
