It’s a small step to corelate locations and thoughts with minimal processing. You’re at home when your network starts connecting to 4chan? - You’re a deviant. You frequent a bar that is a known gay meet up? - You’re a deviant You visited a location where a(n opposing) political rally was held? - You’re a deviant and now you’re also on the watch list.

OK, it’s not yet possible anyway.
BTW, a speeding ticket was mailed to your house because you were tracked exceeding the limit for the road you were on. You were also tracked as passing through an area known for frequent drug crimes, so now you’re on a watch-list as a high-probability illegal drug exchange suspect. Your insurance has been notified that you’ve been tracked engaging in risky activities, so your insurance premiums have increased. Based on your extrapolated sexual activity from collated data of yours and other’s data, that’s also increased your premiums; and since that’s flagged as “risky behavior,” the police database has been updated to increase your “potential suspect” rating, which will be used if you’re ever in the vicinity of a crime when it was committed.
As icing on the cake, all of your location tracking data is being sold to data brokers, for commercial interests to use in whatever way they see fit. It’s how the government funds all of these extra benefits you’re being provided!
