There is no legitimate reason for Google to save past user location data on their servers. If the user wants to keep such data, it could be stored on their phone or in the user’s encrypted cloud data.

Google, EZ Pass, Ebay, and many others store data like that, but I agree, they shouldn't be doing that. Huge invasion of privacy. 1984 has come and gone.

As far as I can tell Apple’s privacy policy and supporting tech makes it pretty much impossible for such warrants to work on Apple maps:

Privacy is one selling point that Apple can stress that Google can’t. Apple sells devices while Google sells info on the “free” services it offers. As a result, you’re a customer of Apple and a product of Google.

THIS. They use it to crunch data I’m sure for advertising targeting but we can see how it is being misused for nefarious big government purposes.
The thing that pissed me off is they gave the guy 7 days to get a court order blocking it, when they SHOULD have made the police get a specific warrant to release it. That’s ass backwards.
The guy or his family is out thousands in attorney fees.
This sort of thing is why I use search engines based on foreign soil that do not save my searches, not Google.

You seem to be correct, Apple requires a warrant. Good to know.
