When Your Phone Turns on You

Homer J Simpson:

"Your phone might be turned against you - when the police search a geofenced area looking for suspects."


I wanted a rude username:
The only surprise is that police have just now started using such warrants widely. I remember discussions about this in 1999/2000 when E-911 was introduced ... people on the mailing list were well aware the technology would enable such correlation analysis.
SilverSolder:

This whole thing is kind of dumb - if you have the GPS trail, you can see they just passed by (as opposed to stopped to do something).
GlennSprigg:
I know some people hate it, when people like me say... "Well I've got nothing to hide!".
Seriously though, I don't!!  I understand how to disable most/all tracking data etc, but I don't bother.
I'm in Perth Australia, and recently we went to Adelaide for 4 days, for private reasons. After looking at available flights, Google messaged me saying something to the likes of... "You were last in Adelaide 4 years ago, from 23rd Oct to the 27th Oct 2016. You had accommodation at Mick O'Sheas Irish Pub just South of Adelaide, and had a rental car from xxxxxx. Your Google Map searches/routes today, indicate you may be going to the same place. We can place you in contact with all concerned, to finalize all your bookings!  And the company that you stored your vehicle at in Perth, has moved, and their new location is xxxxxxx"...  8)   HA!!!  I actually thought it was funny!!!   :-DD

--- End quote ---

"You went to the restroom at the pub, at 17:55hours.  As you were there for 7 minutes, we conclude that it was a "big" rather than a "small" visit.  Based on the accelerometer readings of your steps before and after the visit, we estimate your stools weighed 243 grams. 

Later that evening, you went to the address of a young lady, half your age, that our records show you have no business seeing.  Based on your pulse and breathing patterns, we conclude that your neurotransmitters including dopamine and oxytocin were at elevated levels for several hours.  Based on the spring in your steps after the visit, we conclude you had a pleasant love hangover.  Would you like us to automatically arrange for a meeting with her in advance of your next trip?  Don't forget to upgrade to Google DoublePlusGood membership to keep your wife from finding out."
