Still, it would be rather easy to set absolutely anyone up for this particular kind of serious crime, wouldn't it?

Yes, its incredibly easy. Easier than throwing a bag of drugs into a car.

And, how do you prove your innocence, if you were set up?

You don't. Once this method is used on you, you are guilty, because the same people who framed you also judge you. Unless you cut a deal with them, your life is ruined.

So, is that the idea? This gives government absolute power over every single citizen with a cell phone? Is that why the government is so enthusiastic about people having cell phones?

Yes, they are even inclined to give you one for free. Tracking all citizens through triangulation, knowing what they do and punishing them with no big effort? Hell yea, its the dream of all dictators.
