The point is to exclude you from suspicion in the first place, not verify your alibi.
You've got it all back to front. They won't check the CCTV outside the robbery area against non-suspects outside the robbery area.
You're basically saying they'll check the whole of the world that they weren't in Wisconsin.
- munk-a 7y agoIt's possible (especially if you're in a criminal database) that this might actually paint a bigger target on your back - if a traffic camera caught you going toward the bank and facial recognition picked it up in an automated sweep... then the fact that your phone was broadcasting as being in a different location might be a red flag on it's own. While humans are doing the piecing together this tactic will probably be pretty decent, but it wouldn't be super hard to marry those datasets after you've seen it happen a time or two.
- girvo 7y agoAnd now everyone who forgets their phone on their way to work gets flagged. I’m not even disagreeing with you. It makes me sad, however, that this sort of automated surveillance is mostly accepted by wider society. We will force everyone into a Brave New World styled life, where being entirely unremarkable is the only way to avoid suspicion, no matter how innocuous the behaviour.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI bet hardly anyone travels without their phone on them. Even in a large city...maybe tens or hundreds of people.
