Of course, this shitty location data would never stand up in court. Cell phone location data is notoriously unreliable, especially when you're inside a building.
Hell, the "find my iPhone" feature on my iPad and iPhone often shows my location as being at the gas station 200 feet across the street from where I live when I'm looking for my devices. If that gas station gets robbed, does that make me a prime suspect? Of course not.

Most criminals know to leave their phone powered off while committing crimes. Or even turned on, at home.
If you really need a phone while doing crime, go buy a disposable one, or better yet, have some homeless guy go buy one for you.

Since the capitol has its own cell-"towers" and the walls nicely block the signal, this data is far better than usual.
