Or who's cell phone shut off 1 or 2 cells over then turned back on 1 or 2 cells over in the time frame of the crime. This is the kind of FBI sleuthing I'd support, assuming they got a warrant.
- arebop 11y agoA warrant to query everyone's geotagged cell phone records? That's a long way from traditional warrants to obtain a suspect's call log or to tap a suspect's phone...
- jlgaddis 11y agoI don't have a link handy or even recall what the situation was, but I recall reading of at least instance where law enforcement acquired cell site "dumps" of every connected phone. What I mentioned isn't too far off from that.

- ubersync 11y agoUntil they make THAT (switching off your phone for 1 or 2 cells and turning back on 1 or 2 cells over) a crime.

- deciplex 11y agoWhy would you shut off your phone? Just leave it behind.
- kordless 11y agoAnyone doing a operation like theorized here would probably know to use burners.
- task_queue 11y agoA tracking device is a tracking device. Burners tend to be anomalies when it comes to activation/deactivation locations/times, payment methods, contacts communicated with and the locations/times that they're used. If they're smart they'd want to minimize the electronic trail they'd leave behind and ditch the phone completely.
- task_queue 11y agoI'd love to be the lucky person who fits the profile of being in the right place at the wrong time.
- kiallmacinnes 11y agoMy immediate thoughts were that these incidents were committed by anti-technology folks, looking to disrupt the tech focused population. In my mind, these folks don't even own cell phones.
