I’ve no idea if the police etc can track you, but the GPS tracker that Strava etal access can still track your movements if your phone runs out of charge. I went for a walk the other day and my phone died pretty much instantly, but the whole of our 2hr walk was recorded. I don’t know how long it can do this.
Is it usual for cops to track mobile phones which have been powered off? In 2013 it was said that the NSA was infecting phones with a trojan which does this https://slate.com/technology/2013/07/nsa-can-reportedly-track-cellphones-even-when-they-re-turned-off.html In the recent BBC drama "The Way" it was claimed that even the Welsh police do it.
