I read an interesting newspaper article about how the police confiscated a hired gun's iPhone and found that he ran a search on the city his victim lived in. It is these little digital breadcrumbs that makes life easy for the prosecution.

Seriously if you are going to do illegal things never ever buy a smartphone.
