The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts is applauding a ruling by the state's highest court in a 2012 Billerica murder case that requires police to get a warrant to obtain anything more than six hours of cellphone records or "pings" off cellphone towers to try to track a murder suspect's whereabouts around the time of the crime. The state Supreme Judicial Court ruled this week in the case of co-defendants and cousins, Jason Estabrook and Adam Bradley, that a search warrant was required to collect two weeks worth of Cell Site Location Information from Bradley's cellphone.
