Uh oh, they gave them raw lat&#x2F;lon even when buckets would be fairly unique. Big oof. It&#x27;s really hard to do this kind of thing this way and most location data brokers try to not sell to clients who would be unscrupulous, but the margins aren&#x27;t that great and everyone&#x27;s trying to sell.<p>About the best they can say is &quot;Hey! You weren&#x27;t supposed to do that!&quot;. When I was in this business, we stayed away from reporters for the most part.
