Can you ping towers of any cell calls in the crime area around the time of the crime or must you have a search warrant for only certain known phones/numbers that must be approved by a judge? I am guessing you must have a search warrant for a certain person or number or phone because it could violate the rights of innocent people in the area but not sure?? Can you share your knowlege about this Lady Cop? Thanks!
I think they can obtain Johnny's phone records to get any info they need. Once they have the phone # Tiffany called him from, I'm sure they have ways of obtaining her info as well.
