would carry their cell phone into a convenience store if they intended to rob it? Of course we have heard of folks walking up to a bank teller, showing their ID and, then, pull a gun. If you do that, you deserve a visit from the cops. I'm not sure how this would work if police were interested in finding eye witnesses.
FWIW, I sat on a jury with a man charged with murder who was tracked through his phone. The police got a warrant to have the phone service ping the device to locate it. He was found hundreds of miles from the murder scene using this method and not Google.

For me I can see this as both a leak in privacy but could be a boon if someone was to claim I was at some place and was not.
That said, my smart phone spends a lot of time in Airplane! Mode or turned off.
