A LPR will tell you when a car was at a specific spot, but it won't tell you where a car is at all times. The difference may be inconsequential in dense urban areas, but it's not where I live.
Another thing that people usually forget is that a phone or a car are not a person. “Your” car being at some place doesn’t mean “you” being there. Same as a owning the murder weapon doesn’t make you directly guilty of the crime only a suspect.
