Note that desperation does not preclude a degree of planning, nor does intelligence rule out desperation.
Considering how long phone tracking has been part of movies about crime, I imagine "turn off your phone" would be in the same category as "don't leave blood stains", "don't fire a traceable fire-arm", etc.
... But maybe we should try to avoid accidentally making this thread read like a how-to for committing crime.
- hilbert42 3y agoAgreed, but it's curious it's still so effective. Perhaps much of the population thinks differently to many posting here and law enforcement relies on this.
- sureglymop 3y agoI agree, funnily enough though a period where the phone is turned off may be used to prosecute if there is otherwise a consistent location history. Planning aside, it's actually a hard challenge so I still personally think most criminals probably don't intelligently overcome it.
