In a typical search warrant, police have a suspect in mind and ask for a judge\u2019s approval to search their home, phone data and other potential evidence.

In the large-scale search term and location warrants, police know a crime occurred but don\u2019t know who might have committed it. They come up with what could be potential evidence \u2014 the location near a crime or a search term like &#8216;pipe bomb&#8217; \u2014 and ask a judge to order Google to provide information on people who match those criteria. &#8216;That\u2019s not the way criminal investigations are supposed to go,&#8217; said Jumana Musa, director of the Fourth Amendment Center of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
