Interesting juxtaposition.
Same day revealed the iPhone keeps detailed long-term records of where it’s been - useful for, say, estimating travel speed and noting questionable locations.

I wonder if, just maybe, the download is conducted using radio waves? Which cell phones can both transmit and receive?
Some states already obtain and read the on board computer of cars involved in fatal wrecks. These computers store info much like airliner black boxes, including speed, braking, time, gps location, etc.
That some state (or states) are also downloading info from smart phones and such is just a normal extension of the current need to get “all data” relevant to traffic incidents.
Using electronic devices degrades driving skills more than being legally drunk. This is the beginning of a new income stream for the courts and communities. Just looks what they get from “drunk” drivers , it totals thousands of dollars.
Soon there will be a “Mothers against communicating drivers”.
I’m sorry but police agencies haven’t the best record of honesty. Probably what they can actually do is classified, by reason of national security - and justifiably so, because if the general public learned what they were actually doing, there would be a general revolt.
If one were going to frequent the areas of town where drugs and prostitution are purchased, it might be prudent to leave the iPhone at the office or at home & carry a throwaway phone at those times. Just saying.
