I think the geolocation stuff is particularly concerning. Expert witnesses try to use it to prove which side of a road someone was on, or what route they took from point A to point B or something.

My phone (Pixel 6) regularly gets my location wrong. I have lived in the same house, with the same router and same phone for years, yet every week it randomly tags incorrect coordinates on my photos, in some cases putting them a mile or more away, in a field or on the other side of town.

For me this is a minor annoyance (and one I can't correct on my phone - it won't let me edit the coordinates because they were supplied by the phone. I guess I could edit the EXIF data on a computer if I cared to), but for someone being prosecuted it could place the trustworthiness of testimony under doubt or undermine their defense etc, with "their word against hard data".

I got arrested every day for months because GPS said I wasn't at home on house arrest.
