There is no “could” about it. This is already being done in Oz as of at least two weeks ago.
Cell phones are evil bump.
Both Huxley and Orwell were prophets...........!
Sounds like a great project for a software engineer. Create an app that no matter where you are, it looks like you are in a government authorized prison cell.... I mean your house. I am sure they will resort to cell phone GPS tracking before it’s over.
South Australia was one of the most authoritarian of the Australian states I visited while there.
Damned shame about Australia becoming an oppressive police state. Too bad we don’t have a President who’d step up and challenge the scumbag communists who are literally turning that country into a prison camp.
Because EVERYBODY has a cell phone right? Faraday bag. Or just leave it off and battery out. 🐴💩

Guess the sheep population in Australian is a lot larger than I had thought.
People should watch Enemy of the State.
Good flick too.
Gene Hackman, Will Smith, Jon Voight, Seth Green, Jack Black, Busey’s kid, Caan’s kid, ...
The actual cell towers used are still recorded by the carrier. You can spoof the location for display purposes, but the triangulation from cellphone towers still locates you within a few feet.
May have to re watch it.
Deleted my original response as it would likely result in a stern knock on my door by nightfall.
The opportunities to be passive aggressively compliant are endless. I assume that some of the more morally challenged may even send creative explicate images.
Leave the phone at home with someone. Take a picture of a picture.
