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.
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.
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..
Put a harness on your pet and put it on the harness. Boom, instant spoofing.
Movement data shows that you scratch your fleas a lot, you should do something about that.
Ask a non-protesting friend or family member to take it with them about their daily routine?
I'm sure my mum would be happy to look after my phone for a day if it meant getting one over on the authorities. And if anyone asks, I'm just a good son who likes to hang out with his mum.
