I remember discussing the plausibility of some of the tracking abilities outlined in this 90's movie.
That was then. Nowadays, if you've watched even a few true crime shows, you know to leave your cell phone where it might alibi you, not where you're headed to do a crime.
The odd thing with this bunch is many of them didn't believe what they were doing was a crime. Nowadays, if you've read any history at all, you realize that those on the wrong side of a revolution are frequently treated as criminals.

Likewise, at least some people who rob banks imagine themselves to be freedom fighters sticking it to the man.

You can justify anything. "I wouldn't have knocked the old lady to the ground if she'd just let go of her purse."
Values, what's good and what's evil, are so ingrained in us they impart a need for even the most sociopathic to believe they're basicallly good.
It's easier on the subconscious, and thus the sleep cycle, to justify whatever it is we have to do.
