Unless this is enacted in every state, law enforcement can deduce the state a person of interest is in just by not getting location data for them.
But state level location is not that worrisome. I mean, you can take a partial guess from the area code (though that's not that accurate because cell numbers usually stay the same when people move these days).
Plus, would they even know that? There's the question of how you could make sure not to track only people from states with this law without tracking them in the first place. The easy solution is to not track locations with cellular data at all, lest you accidentally run afoul of this law. Plus there probably will be more states passing such laws. You said every state would have to pass it to use process of elimination, but surely it only needs 2?
Actually, if most states passed it the police could not use the process of elimination. Especially if the mix included both Women's rights states and Woman pressing states.
