...the administration is now advising municipal authorities on how to publicize details about controversial technology that is used to sweep up a massive amount of the cell phone communication that goes on in a particular area. Their chief concern seems to be how much knowledge the public has about the Stingray – the controversial surveillance device has rankled civil liberties advocates, particularly the American Civil Liberties Union, for its ability to mimic a cell phone tower, thereby attracting pings from an overwhelming majority of the phones in the area and giving police a clear notion of where an individual is. The technology has been so contentious because police are often not required to obtain a warrant to use a Stingray, yet relatively few details are known about how it is used. thefreethoughtproject/police-box-violate-rights-feds-covering/
