I've been pondering this for a while.. Almost everyone has a cell phone and every phone has GPS or can at least be located by triangulation.
I wonder if the police could get a warrant for the cell providers, Google or apple to find what phones were at the crime scene when the crime occurred. I know for a fact that Google tracks your location history on android phones, apple probably does too on their phones. .
I'm guessing specific info or evidence would have to be provided in order to get a warrant and a request to provide a list of phones at x location at x time would not be sufficient.
It could be a good way to solve crimes but there are a lot of privacy issues with that and it's probably a road we dont want to go down.
