Definitely agree. If I have a time series of geo location information, which visits point x,y once per day at 5:00pm I can probably conclude they probably live at this location.
Of course it would all be incredibly boring to analyze. We can conclude that people live at a certain location, (dumbly for no good reason) drive to another one 5 times per week and go a few other places.
Sure you might be able to find the odd person that is doing something weird or illegal but if you already know location x1, y1 contains bad guys might as well just go there and arrest them instead of creepily analyzing data that you know you shouldn’t have.
