We had this TV show in the Netherlands where people needed to stay out of hands of the police for as long as possible, something like thatSo they went on the "run" and the police tried to catch them and who stayed the longest out wonThe thing where it almost always went wrong was... communication!Most of the times the ppl on the run made the simple mistake of using WhatsApp for example, but the police already logged in on their devices beforehand with the QR code lol

I didn't care much for the show but I was always wondering in how to solve such a thingGuess the solution is reasonable simple..Do not use traceable services but self-host and encrypt :bloblaugh:

The most "creative" way of communication was this dude that used the Playstation network to chat with the people he needed!Wasn't enough but a lot more clever then posting it on Facebook for example :blobcatgiggle:

@valhalla_dev Even so, at some point communication is almost always needed in some way or anotherIt's hard to do that untraceable when people are looking for you i guess

@stux My wife and I watched one of those true crime shows where they solved a murder by tracing the phone. Putting the phone in the area. It traced the phone from where the murder happened, to where the body was disposed of and to where the guy was hiding out. They found it by just comparing phone cell phone hits from the various towers. The phone shouldn't have been at all three places. lolI told my wife, just to goes to show, if you are going to commit a crime, duct tape your phone underneath a seat of a someone else's vehicle and tell the cops you were out and about all day, and give yourself an alibi. 😂

@paul Haha but for real!Even having your phone with you tells so much by the tower pin points indeed :flan_laugh:

@stux This was a random person, too. They would have never linked this person to the victim at all. The only thing that linked them was the tower hits. Both murder and disposal area were too far away from each other to be blend over pings. Talking like over 50 miles away. The phone had to be physically in the triangle of each separate triangle. And it was. About an hour after the time of death determination, the phone pinged near the site of the disposal, 50 miles away. Then, they determined where he was at in real time. lol

@stux @paul Most of the time, your geo-location on a phone isn't using GPS connection (even though most modern phones can actually get a GPS satellite signal), but rather, they triangulate their own position, based on nearby towers.From what I understand, they can even use nearby wifi routers to triangulate, even if they don't "connect" to the router.
