    Yeah turns out, “sitting in my room alone playing video games,” isn’t much of an alibi. I should get some hobbies that involve people. Like…multi-player games.

    Shitty Pro Tips:

    Turn on Google Maps Location History and act like a “normie”. (You should probably do this for a few months to establish a good and lenthy history)

    Then when you want to do murder surprise deprivation of someone’s life, leave your phone at home and use a pre-recorded voice of you that would activate and use the Google/Siri assistant at the same time as when you do the deed.

    Voila, ez alibi!

      To be fair, if you’re going to do something really illegal, you shouldn’t bring your phone with you anyway, or at least put it on airplane mode. Even without Google Maps, the cell towers will triangulate your approximate location and time, and it’s basically the first thing police pull if there’s a crime in an area.

      You’ll also probably need to make sure you conceal your face as you walk by a million ring doorbell cameras, because those will rat you out and disprove your alibi.

        I wouldn’t even trust Airplane mode, it can and will still keep GPS active and potentially log it in a way that can be accessed later. You do not truely “own” any modern cellphone and you should not consider any single activity or communication that you do on it to be private or secure.

          Mm… haven’t read that but sounds right.

          I might be comfortable committing a crime if I had a time machine but barring that I’d just drive from the crime scene to the precinct.
