I'd have to think about this. It doesn't seem true.

If you knew the location of every police car or city councilman's car, what would that change?



I’d be willing to bet they would take privacy protections a bit more seriously.


Or at the very least they'd think twice before grandstanding against the construction of a strip club or whatever when anyone can look back and see their patronage of such.


It would change how much surveillance there was in the first place.


1 - you don't actually have access to that information.

2 - you're lowballing the problem. It's not just current location, it's your full movement history.


Oh no no no, those are private for security reasons!
