A suspect claims they were home during a crime—and their smartphone photos with GPS coordinates seem to prove it. But what if that “fake evidence” was manufactured with a few taps on a spoofing app?
Location spoofing is increasingly being used to fabricate alibis, and investigators are facing a critical challenge: distinguishing genuine location data from sophisticated forgeries.

Don’t let falsified location data compromise your investigations.
