They'll just do it illegally and conveniently leave out how they tracked down whoever's location but it's a nice sentiment.

    it's 100% legal for them to just buy all the data they want, which is what they do anyway. it's taxpayer $ anyway, so why should they care.

    this ruling just says they can't forcibly acquire that data, nothing about not buying it
