You are absolutely correct and worse the more this tech is used to actually solve cases the fewer crooks will carry their phones and many crimes aren't pinpointed neatly in time. We will know that sometime between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning someone robbed a location and due to imperfection of GPS signals your suspects will include dozens of people including people who walked by 2 streets over. Over time your suspect list will be less and less likely to contain the criminal but it will statistically likely contain at least a few who got in trouble previously especially minorities who can be threatened with 10 to 20 years in jail in order to make them accept 6 months -> probation or risk facing a jury of mostly white people. You can then successfully close tons of cases without finding any actual criminals, doing any real work, or even risking court. And your local businesses get unpaid slave labor rented to them cheap. What a goddamn paradise. All we need is some cotton that needs picking you know or a soul and a shred of decency.
