Facebook has your location data, when will they give it to law enforcement?

As you probably know, Facebook had a huge security breach as of late. A recent piece in the New York Times indicates that this includes your location data.

Here is a link to the piece:

www.nytimes.com/2018/10/12/technology/facebook-hack-investigation.html?rref=collection%2Fissuecollection%2Ftodays-new-york-times&action=click&contentCollection=todayspaper&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=7&pgtype=collection

A search by law enforcement data therefore has tremendous implications vis a vis Carpenter. If hackers can get this information, then there’s every reason to believe law enforcement will want this information to prosecute a defendant. The question then becomes whether acquiring such data comports with the Fourth Amendment.
