    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.

    Plain and simple, lazy police work that ironically leads to a lot of unnecessary work in clearing false leads.

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

    I investigated bunches of burglaries where there wasn't much to go on from the scene and neighborhood canvas.

    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.

    My wife watches those murder shows on the ID Channel. I'll listen with one ear sometimes, and I've heard cases where the perp planned things pretty well, going as far as leaving their cell phone home or turning it off (duh!). 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.

    True, but you can limit apps that track you to only track while using the app, by default many will have it constant tracking, but those can be easily found in the settings and changed to "only track while using the app".
