Hey Thomas,
Thanks for providing the examples. I'm a little confused about the latitude
and longitude you have provided in your example Tweets.
When I query those Tweets through the API I receive geo information which
matches your Streaming API filter.
Where are you reading the latitude and longitude from?
Here are the responses I see:
