In court that would just be circumstantial....anyone could have had your phone. It does not prove your location. But cameras and other CCTV could.I think you have made a wise choice.
Yes the police can access phone location data regardless of what options you have or dont have. They can get the cell tower data from the providers and pin point your phone simply with it turned on. Of course in your case that wouldnt help them if you and your wife were both in the car at the time.
Its a very very common mistake criminals make. They take their phone with them during the commision of a crime. They then deny it when caught and claim they were elsewhere. It all falls apart when the police say 'but sir we can place your mobile phone at that scene at the precise time on the incident!'.
