Cell Phone Location Evidence Isn't Bulletproof. We Know How to Tear It Apart.
Prosecutors love to claim they can tell where you were—down to the street—based on your cell phone. But cell site location data isn't GPS, and it's not nearly as accurate as they want juries to believe.
At Manosh Payette Criminal Defense Attorneys, we're trained in how cell phones really work—and how to expose the limits of location tracking in criminal trials.
We Know the Tech. We Know the Science. We Know the Strategy.
Our attorneys are highly trained in the evolving field of cell site analysis and mobile forensics. We've studied how cell towers communicate with devices, how law enforcement interprets that data, and—more importantly—how they often misuse or overstate it in court.
We've cross-examined expert witnesses, challenged flawed geolocation maps, and excluded misleading testimony by showing:
-
A phone connecting to a tower does not mean the person was near that tower.
-
Factors like signal strength, weather, and tower congestion can reroute connections miles away.
-
“Range to tower” estimates are often guesswork dressed up in pseudo-science.
-
Cell site analysis cannot pinpoint exact locations—only broad coverage zones.
-
The person holding the phone may not be the person charged with the crime.
We've Done the Homework—and Then Some
We stay updated with national training programs, mobile forensics conferences, and the latest publications from experts in digital evidence. We've worked with leading consultants and engineers to expose weaknesses in:
-
Call detail records (CDRs)
-
Historical cell site location info (CSLI)
-
Real-time tracking and “pings”
-
Google location data
-
Device extractions via Cellebrite and GrayKey
When the prosecution tries to anchor their case in your cell phone records, we anchor our defense in science, not speculation.
Trial-Tested. Technically Skilled. Ready to Fight.
If your case involves accusations tied to your phone's location, you need a defense team that knows how to decode and dismantle digital evidence.
We're not intimidated by geolocation data. We're trained to challenge it—and we've done it in courtrooms across the state.
