OK so they caught someone who was stupid and didn't think about getting tracked.

But what about the professionals who know that anything you do on the internet is be tracked? There's a whole range of organizations that employ people who know that they should never get on the internet to do this and who would leave their phone at home (maybe letting a junior carry it from room to room) while they go out to do this "work" and then have "evidence" that they did not do anything and never left the house... "Officer, my phone's GPS shows I was at home, and my Fitbit says I was sitting on the sofa watching TV"
