Location is currently disabled by default in twitter; a user must choose to
enable it for location to be available. That would constitute a clear decision
to publish location. No sensible judiciary would regard it as an offence, of
itself, to access an individual's location when the individual has themselves
has chosen to publish it to a public place such as the web.
But intent matters: as they say, it's what you do with it that counts. You
might land yourself with having to defend the intent. So you're not wrong to
raise the issue.
