Your IP address is leased to your ISP, which leases IP addresses to you. Most peoples’ IP address changes fairly frequently for both security reasons and routing reasons, but these ip addresses are usually only tied to a city. For instance, if you’re in a small rural town outside of Chicago, and somebody looked up your IP, it would likely tell them you’re from Chicago.
When the cops try to find out who accessed something illegally, they have to go to the ISP and ask for the address of the customer using that IP at that specific time. They cannot just automatically know where you live by ip alone.
The only time you really want an IP that doesn’t change is if you run a website or server and that’s because you don’t want to constantly tell DNS or your viewers what your new IP is.
