The problem is compounded by the fact that 4G and beyond have location triangulation specific features specially built in to them. The tech is only going to improve as today it isn't as accurate as GPS.

I found that this Wikipedia article is a great little read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_tracking

Just read that 5G is going to be exponentially more precise at location tracking than 4G because there will be many, many more base stations with comparatively short range.
