> Location data can also be used to help prove your innocence.

I can retain receipts from gas stations, getting a soda at the corner store, etc without needing to beam my realtime location data to the cloud.



I've never seen a gas station receipt with a timestamp. Is that common in other places?


I scan all my receipts, and every gas station receipt has a date and time stamp. How accurate they are is anyone's guess.

I also always use a credit card for any transaction which gives another 'I was there' proof point.


The actual receipt usually has a timestamp, but IIRC credit card statements just list the date (not time).


To be honest I don't recall either but some places do have a timestamp. (Restaurants being a big one)
