In the semi-dystopian scenario: Supposing I'd committed some crime likely to attract that level of tracking/response... How long do you think I'd actually walk around with that phone? Or would I be more likely to dump it/leave it in some random taxi?
Going further, how many ways can we come up with to use this as a way of swatting someone else?
nth-order consequences matter.

The problem is that you'll need a phone eventually, and buying a new one would be a no-no if the Feds are watching your bank account (which is more or less accepted practice at this point). Even if you manage to secretly get a new phone, all it takes is one person to report you to burn that one too. Having a cyber-warrant out for your arrest effectively bans you from owning any smartphone ever again.
