I imagine this technology is here specifically to force people to give up on privacy. In a "guilty until proven innocent" situation, you can't even do your own secure/private tracking as any local data wouldn't have attestation. Only solution is to be rich enough to fight it out in court.

More importantly than attestation or local tracking vs cloud based is that you are forced to do tracking at all.

I shouldn't have to create documentary evidence of where I am at all times in order to fight spurious accusations regardless of how I do it.

This is also blatantly an engine for parallel construction & evidence laundering at a massive scale. The only things holding law enforcement back from using it that way is the commitment of individual departments to following the rules of due process, or their fear of the consequences for violating them. So effectively nothing. And everyone involved in building, selling, buying, and using this tool knows that.
