i feel really sorry for these people. the idea that law enforcement and service providers are using ip based location for anything serious is absolutely incredible. the location from ip address is a fallback for when you don't have anything better, and it is a fallback you take with the caveat of "could be completely wrong". this was my opinion of it when i first discovered the concept over 10 years ago. the victims should bring legal action imo and law enforcement should get its shit together and act competently at the very most basic of levels. ip based geolocation is and never was reliable. the idea that you can get a search warrant based off of it is laughable and indicates gross incompetence, not just in one place, but at every stage that such a thing is knowingly used. using things you don't understand to draw concrete conclusions is stupid. literally. its the very definition of the word 'misguided'.
