In this June 11, 2020, photo provided by Samuel Jones, his friend Zachary McCoy pauses on his bicycle in Gainesville, Fla. Local authorities considered McCoy a suspect in a house burglary because his Google location data showed he was near the house three times on the day the burglary occurred. McCoy said he rides his bike by the house regularly for exercise. Authorities were using geofence search warrants that allow law enforcement to gather data from Google on cellphone users and other devices near the scene of a crime. (Samuel Jones via AP)
