Eventually we'll reach a point where the police search for you if your phone is off for too long, and ticket you for wasting police time when they find you.

Sounds like an amazing feature already if it was an opt-in service you could turn on and off when you're going to a place where you expect murderers.

There's plenty of places that are dangerous, which police are known not to go into because wearing a police uniform is an invitation for trouble.

You'd also likely be long dead before anybody investigated your disappearance in this hypothetical scenario.
