Several cases have been nailed shut here in Denmark on that basis by now,
people saying "I were not at home that evening, I was with some friend
on the other side of town" and the police then playing a GSM call and
showing the area where the phone could have been at the time of the call.

They need a court order of for both wire-tapping and getting hold of the
location information.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
