Neat, but one needs to also trust that google isn't an adversary
You have bigger things to worry about if you are worried about google being an adversary while using a Google OS with play services and google apps.
Except it takes effort to get an OS without Google Spyware.
And regular, everyday people have been targeted by police because of Google.
Google is not the only thing you have to worry about. Your phone carrier can also have erroneous location data.
I read this more of a cops being shitty story.
If you don't have location turned off and all cell radios off all the time, you are also at risk.
Cell phone carriers have a lot less location data
As someone who has airplane mode on almost 24/7 and uses CalyxOS
lmao.
That's good, until you have family members that need to contact you for something.
And worse case scenario, you won't be there for a loved one and make important medical decisions as their next-of-kin.
That's the whole point of a phone, to act as a communications device.
I think the only solutions to this is bringing back the pagers. With the Standard Operating Procedure be having airplane mode on all the time, with a receive-only device that will alert you if someone want to contact you.
You think just because airplane mode is turned on means the phone isnt still functional?
WiFi still works in airplane mode. WiFi calling exists, Signal Exists. I dont need to be on my phone for the 20 or so minutes I'll be without connection in the car, and everywhere offers free WiFi. Use a VPN + randomized mac and you might as well be an anonymous anomaly.
I also find it dubious at best that in less than 20 years people have completely forgotten you don't have to be reachable at all times. You used to have to share a landline between a family of 5, and you werent always home. Before that, you had to either send a letter or go find that person physically. People can function without having to be contactable 24/7
