Location data can easily be fabricated. This has been discussed extensively in other subthreads. Thus insufficient by itself.
However, it can be corroborated with e.g. cameras along the path if need be, providing an alibi. By having control of the data, rather than giving it up to the cloud, it can be used in this way, without allowing it to be used against you in the "location data says you were near the scene of the crime" scenario.
- lhnz 3y ago> Location data can easily be fabricated. True. We are getting into territory that might also consider: what type of mobile device do you use, has it been jailbroken, and are there signs of GPS spoofing in the location history? But, in general, if you have a digital trail which corroborates with other digital or real-life trails, you have something which does have weight as evidence.
