A few years back the Danish Data Protection Agency found out that there was several major errors in the cell phone data the police had been using in criminal cases to establish the location of offices and by extension their owners. The system would sometimes mess up the locations of a caller and the phone receiving the call.
The agency also criticised the police for having done nothing to check the quality of data before using it in court. The courts and prosecutors and defenders also deserves blame as they never challenged the quality of the data.
All the non-computer people just assumed that when the computer said something then it must also be true. Why wouldn't it be, after all computers are magic and incorruptible truth-machines.
And even then cell phone data is often thought to be more precise than it really is. Often it is assumed that a phone connects to the nearest cell phone mast but that is not always the case, especially in built-up areas where the signal from the closest mast is not always the strongest. These data can have up to 30 km of inaccuracy.
