If your phone is elsewhere you might not even be interesting enough to be questioned in the first place.
Unless the police have reason to suspect specific people then casting drag nets (phone location data, ALPR data, etc) and then sifting through the list of people they get for the most probable suspects is SOP.
- AnthonyMouse 5y ago> If your phone is elsewhere you might not even be interesting enough to be questioned in the first place. The same result obtains when your phone isn't leaking your location data to anyone.
- chrisseaton 5y agoThat's the absence of a positive - the person you're replying to is suggesting the presence of a negative. See the difference?
- AnthonyMouse 5y agoThe distinction only matters if it has practical effect. Having no data causes you to be uninteresting and they leave you alone. Having data that says your phone wasn't there causes you to be uninteresting and they leave you alone. It's the same result. It's only when your phone is informing on you that you get into trouble, because then when you're unlucky to have been in the vicinity of a crime, you then become interesting and have a bad time even when you're completely innocent.
