Apple's own developer documentation outlines how notifications can trigger when crossing a physical boundary. Apps notifications can trigger if you enter a "protest zone" for example then gov will know everyone who was there.

That location determination is done on-device.

California with the support of Gavin Newsom is building "no go" zones for wildfire response. Sounds OK except - a video recording of a local Mayor at a wildfire update press conference, asking with deference, when the main highway to his town will re-open, and the response from a tense and aggressive CHP leader was "maybe that road will be closed for six months, maybe next year" with no respect... instantly snapped at a Mayor, on camera. How are these zones decided upon? "immediate area" is not what was being done in that event.

    much respect to rsync -- I believe it was a press CalFIRE event during one of the many ultra-serious fires, and I did not record that video. The interaction was distinct in my mind however, for the reason stated here. The town was a smaller town on the edge of a large forested area. The scope-creep and instant-authority of it all, as bad as that is, is dwarfed by the loss of life and property, flora and fauna during the wildfire. In the execution of emergency duties however, all the rules of engagement should be ON, IMHO.

Need a set of preparation rules for attending protests these days. No mobile, no identification, obscure any way to uniquely be identified.

Hey, that's easier than having to go there and setup a stingray!
