Turn it off and leave it at home.
Leave it on at home.
"Your honor, as you can see from my mobile device location history, I never even left my house that day."
Not that that'll actually work or that they'll care, but still...
They likely have the data to show it didn't move at all. Eg it wasn't on your person.
You underestimate how much of a couch potato I am. Not moving is normal lol.
Even sitting on a couch moves your phone more than simply laying on a table. They can use accelerometer data to determine how, if at all, it moved.
For that , someone mentioned a roomba or straping it to a dogs collar..
If I'm sitting on the couch, the phone is not on me. It's on the table next to me or on a counter somewhere. I don't even always look at it if I get a message. Sometimes I'll wait hours after I get a message to read it.
