The cellular network always has to know your approximate location, or else it can't get your data to you. But that doesn't use GPS.
Offhand (and I'm very far from an expert) the only situation I can think of that spoofing GPS might have legal ramifications is when using E911. In general, it's probably better to spoof a "I don't see enough satellites to get a fix, sorry" status than to spoof a "I'm definitely in Sheboygan" status.

But if the cellular radio is a separate device, that information isn't necessarily available to the OS. If you use WiFi, that must also be a separate device, to prevent the OS from knowing what APs are available, and doing geolocation based on that.
