Emotionally, when I hear things like this I think unconsciously I secretly want companies not to give data over ever. And really the companies shouldn't collect it (hackers also exist)..

However rationally I think there is a balance. Investigators need to do their jobs and chase every lead they can to catch criminals. I wonder if google could have complied with a query that simply grabbed the users in the areas during the 3 time periods combined.

Maybe we just need laws that limit how much data can be returned per warrant, to encourage more limited warrants.
