That's what I call them. Because that's what they are. Unfortunately.
Helps in crime cases, but often, it's way too late and after the fact when the triangulation is resolved.
LOL ! yep , I feel like I am living in a dystopian science fiction movie
Powering off your cellphone will not work at denying the government the ability to track you via cell phone. Even if you pull the battery, their is a small battery on the motherboard that chirps gps information every so often. They can turn on your microphone and camera, remotely, and to you, it appears that your phone is powered down.
Aside from smashing your cell phone with a hammer, there is one method that will work to deny them the access to your location information, but attention to detail is essential. You must wrap your cell phone in aluminum foil, paying close attention to the seams. I double wrap mine, when I don’t want them to know where I am. I have nefarious intentions, other than to make it difficult for the gov’t to spy on me.
Not only is Alexa listening to your conversations, but so are those voice activated remote controls, like X-Finity has. Speakers can be co-opted to act as microphones as well. No encryption can stop them, if they devote the resources to cracking your encryption.

Cell phones makes Crime investigators LAZY....
Wanna frame someone for a crime, steal their cell phone without them noticing, take it along with you on the crime, then return it.
The cops will put the almighty cell phone record as “Proof” despite any other evidence...
This is why you should always be aware where your cell phone is.
