So I’ve just been thinking about privacy, and how everyone’s location can be tracked. Then I realized: What about people who have no permission to enter the country?

Like do they just decide to not have a phone, or do they still have phones and just roll the dice and hope they don’t get caught?

    What the government is capable of doing, and what the government will actually do, are two vastly different things. Movies depict the government as this insanely competent, unstoppable machine, with endless resources and desire. The reality is that detectives won’t even interview eye witnesses, since they’d have to leave their desk to do so. So, if a detective won’t even interview people with critical information about a case, how determined do you think they are about tracking down someone who may or may not exist, who they have no knowledge of, who probably hasn’t committed any crimes except for being here?
