Milwaukee authorities were not restricted by those concerns in June 2017. Eager to arrest a violent predator, they turned to an innovative and untested method that would surprise them with its effectiveness — and help spark a new era in high-tech investigations.Darren Hauck / for NBC NewsIn the hours after the attack, M.D. hadn’t begun to process the trauma of her ordeal yet. It felt unreal. But one thing that she was able to focus on was talking to detectives.
For Draeger, the key detail from M.D. was that she had seen the rapist pull up Google Maps on his Samsung phone — and that it was still running when her attackers abandoned her on the side of the highway. Draeger decided to ask Google to use this data to identify the suspects in M.D.’s case. He'd never done it before and didn't know anyone who had, although the technique had been tried at least twice: Google says it received its first geofence warrant in 2016 from a law enforcement agency it did not name, and in March 2017 police in Raleigh, North Carolina,The Milwaukee Police Department.It was now about 3 p.m. on Friday, June 16, about 12 hours after M.D. had dialed 911.
“All of a sudden it shows up in my email, and I open it up and I’m staring at the screen, going, ‘I have a name and phone number for this dude we’ve been looking for for like five days,’” Draeger recalled.

It is great that they caught this guy, but these types of searches often ensnare innocent bystanders who just so happen to be have their phone on. What about the 4th amendment rights of all the other people who are on that highway
