> Radios off (GPS/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) unless needed

GPS is a passive technology, no?

Downloading GPS assist data obviously isn't, and plenty of phones use wifi scanning as a way to augment GPS position fixes, but this seemed a strange callout. Am I missing something?

if the phone is confiscated it could be saving GPS automatically, i guess

This stood out from me as odd from the article too, but that's definitely a plausible explanation.
I could easily see a phone with some sort of location tracking saving GPS data points internally until it can reach a network again to send them out.
