I'm reminded of this story[0] from a few years ago where a family in Kansas was raided by every US ABC agency because MaxMinds was using their lat/long as the default when there was no exact position.

There are many different 3rd party sources for geo locating IP addresses, maybe MaxMinds is the most popular one. But if you acquire a few, you'll notice that sometimes even they don't agree where the location of a server is.
