>The police does have a vested interest in making the public think that turning the phone off is pointless.

An interesting point, but...

If I were a criminal (I am not), and I were going to commit a crime (I am not), and I knew turning off my phone was pointless because the police can still track it, then I would just leave my phone at home, or give it to a friend.
