Pertinent quotes from the article on how phone data is used:
Phone masts play a key role in modern police work, as they provide evidence about potential witnesses and can also help to confirm statements and alibis, as they can reveal who was in a certain area at a given time.
To access that information, police do not require a warrant, and must simply request “tower dumps” from the telco that owns the specific tower in question.
