That flimsy argument has been debunked so many times over the years.
Google tracked a man's bike ride past a burgled home. This made him a suspect.

That flimsy argument has been debunked so many times over the years.
Indeed, at the end of the day, if you're not guilty then you have no valid reason not to cooperate with the police (who are there for the benefit of you and everyone else), the irrational idiots who waste time and cause trouble anyway because "but muh privacy" deserve whatever happens to them.
That's very, very naive.
Don't you remember not so long ago a couple lost their foster children because they voted UKIP?
Your data can and will be mis-used.
I subscribe to another online Forum, where I innocently asked, “Why do we in U.K. say leftenant, while in U.S. they say lootenant, I said that I willingly accept leftenant, but did anyone know why there was a difference?”
I was inundated with posts urging me to eff off to America if I didn’t like leftenant.
All I’d asked was why there was a difference, not that I preferred one over the other.
Having said that, I prefer burgled over burglarised.
Just came across this story (sure I've heard about it before) and it reminded me of your comment. It's a long article, but shocking and quite sad. Over 20 years this guy spent inside for a murder he didn't commit, and his dna wasnt even a match!

I love you and want to have your children.
We need to rise up against this seemingly deliberate attempt to butcher our fine language, the uneducated apes that they are.

Could you imaging what it would be like for someone totally innocent but was framed and jailed for a long time. No doubt there’s been many more very scary to think that.
Worry about google tracking your phone now, worry about fibre optic cables tracking pedestrian and vehicular movements across cities from below tied to CCTV from above later.

Monitoring will never go away so for some of you that’s a little paranoid by it just play the game.

It's just making being a criminal much harder, got so much more to think about
Crime never pays.
I was in another thread the other day on this topic
just how secure do you think peoples personal data is, there are sure companies out there collecting tons of data from different sources, collecting them all together and trying to combine everything right, then selling it on
you could probably go even further and use machine learning to track things you wouldn't think of that could identify an individual.
theres sure ways to track people through how their mouse movement is, typing habits etc and build a model for it that can identify different users.
your locations probably being tracked if you enable it by installing some app that logs what wifi networks you connect to and where they are, even if you never enable gps on your phone.
I wonder if self service tills harvest much information, most of them have a camera showing your face as you use it, which I guess is a feed the security guard can watch.
why don't they just map your face so they can track your spending habits even if you don't use a loyalty card.
oh wait, they probably already do.

If they do they would have to say somewhere in the terms of conditions or what not and it would have come to light by now if this was the case.
