Shitty Pro Tips:

Turn on Google Maps Location History and act like a "normie". (You should probably do this for a few months to establish a good and lenthy history)

Then when you want to do ~~murder~~ surprise deprivation of someone's life, leave your phone at home and use a pre-recorded voice of you that would activate and use the Google/Siri assistant at the same time as when you do the deed.

Voila, ez alibi!

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 14 hours ago

What's far more likely to happen if you do that is that you get caught up in a dragnet and accused of a crime you haven't committed because they know you were nearby and need a fall guy.

Lol, they already know where you are unless you turn on airplane mode every time you leave your house. (Cellular triangulation)

LOL, Depends who "they" is. The NSA? Sure. Your local PD? No.

Your local PD can get your location data. They just ask and the carrier will probably comply.

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 1 day ago

To be fair, if you're going to do something really illegal, you shouldn't bring your phone with you anyway, or at least put it on airplane mode. Even without Google Maps, the cell towers will triangulate your approximate location and time, and it's basically the first thing police pull if there's a crime in an area.

You'll also probably need to make sure you conceal your face as you walk by a million ring doorbell cameras, because those will rat you out and disprove your alibi.

I wouldn't even trust Airplane mode, it can and will still keep GPS active and potentially log it in a way that can be accessed later. You do not truely "own" any modern cellphone and you should not consider any single activity or communication that you do on it to be private or secure.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Which is not in any way shady or unexpected. Airplane mode is supposed to stop your device from emitting any radio signals. GPS receivers only receive signals and don't send any, so there is no reason for GPS not to work in airplane mode.

When you turn them off, they're not actually off. This way stuff like emergency calls and alarms can go through. I miss old phones where you could just pop off the battery.

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 4 points 19 hours ago

Do you have actual source for this information? I couldn’t find anything suggesting this.

[-] b000rg@midwest.social 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

This is true. Apple's excuse for it is that it's used for FindMy and locking down a stolen device. So the Bluetooth and GPS and/or cellular radio still function with the device "off".

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

You can turn those off when powering the phone down.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Luckily, draining an iphones battery is really easy.

Edit: though battery depleted devices can still be tracked for hours.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

Mm… haven’t read that but sounds right.

I might be comfortable committing a crime if I had a time machine but barring that I’d just drive from the crime scene to the precinct.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They still don’t solve them all, so it’s not impossible to get away with it

It's not like the police have access to every cell phone and can lookup who was where and when. You have to first become a suspect.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 13 points 1 day ago

Phones send airtag-like signals when turned completely off nowadays.

I mean, I'd probably mess up so that why I don't do crime. Doesn't matter if its an "honorable" crime like robin hood stuff, I'd most likely just fuck up and lool like a fool, and the government will use my attempt as an excuse to increase surveillance and divert more tax dollars to cops.

I'm just not that type of person, so don't count on me for any revolutionary acts.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

My constant paranoia about getting in trouble for shit I didn't do is why I don't do crime.

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 72 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Even better, my location history proves I regularly go on 5 hour drives in the middle of the night so it's not at all out of character that I drove to the middle of the woods where the body was found at 3am

wait that's not a good thing is it

what do you mean they found more bodies

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

Now you gotta tell us where are you driving to at night. No I am not a fed, I just work in the sunglass store.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

People don't wear sunglasses at night

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 10 points 1 day ago

Welp, I think the detectives know who to DM when we see a rise of murders in "a few months"
