I don’t know guys, google is just there to help us, to teach us how to be better and to keep us safe- who is this person to question that?
I feel like google is being threatened and should red flag law this guy, it’s the only reasonable thing to do...
...or just turn off google tracking and delete your location history if it was on to begin with.Quote:

Could be lazy, could be they don't know what they don't know, could be the bad guys didn't leave much evidence.Quote:

There was a case a few years ago where they caught the bad guys because of facebook. It logged them as being there at the time of robbery, and they were not witnesses/victims.
Facebook is a little nuts, but I figure they've mined the DMV photo database anyway.Quote:

My wife watches those murder shows on the ID Channel.

The detectives actually try to turn that against the perp-in-question, like it's damn near unexplainable why you wouldn't have your cell phone on you at all times these days! ie. you have to come up with a reason why you didn't have it with you.
I know the cops are trying to get a confession, but is the fact you left your cell phone at home actually admissible as evidence in a criminal trial? Could a prosecutor ask that in court or would the defense object and have it stricken from the record and the jury instructed to ignore that question?
If you use a google app, you are tracked, android or iPhone does not matter.Quote:
