Geofence warrants are also known as “reverse-location” warrants, since they seek to identify people of interest who were in the near vicinity at the time a crime was committed. Police do this by asking a court to order Google, which stores vast amounts of location data to drive its advertising business, to turn over details of who was in a geographic area, such as a radius of a few hundred feet at a certain point in time, to help identify potential suspects.

I remember watching a documentary or other program where a hit man would be dispatched to another state to “take care of business”. Before he left he would have someone else get a pre-paid phone using cash. The biggest obstacle was the transportation. How does he get to place of business? When he first got dispatched it was easy, take a bus or train. Before he got caught he had resorted to some sort of ride share thing, just short of hitchhiking.
The downfall for him was actually doing his business in the victims home. Victim had cameras hidden that the police used to catch him.
So long story short, there are ways to avoid detection as far as location and tracking but good luck with the cameras because theyre everywhere now and you’ll be caught by them. You’d have to have a disguise of some sort in this period of time. Now after an EMP, anything goes.
I don’t remember the program name but the guy was mafia on the East coast and traveled as far as Vegas and Florida until the early 2000’s
Are we actually expected to believe that goog stores info fore their advertising bbusiness? Goog. Is the largest contracted information gathering arm of the nsa and other governments.
They lie.
Just because it says it is turned off does not mean it really id.
No, the cell towers can triangulate your position with pretty good accuracy. They do that to facilitate tower-to-tower hand-off as you move. If your GPS feature is on they can track to withing a couple of meters.
No GPS does not track anything. GPS receivers are receive only devices; and, GPS satellites have no contact with stations using them to get a position fix.
A cell phone can send your position to a third party because it HAS a radio transmitter and is in constant contact with towers. The cell phone can access the GPS fix. Usually the GPS radio and processor is fabricated on the same wafer as the cell phone. GPS has no way to betray your position. All of that is done by your trusted phone.
Then how can the GPS tell me where I’ve been for the last six months? It displays a map and shows my routes through the map over time.
Very true. Trusting Google to do what they is a bad idea.
