The Stingray is a small device that mimics cellular towers – tricking all wireless devices on the same network into communicating with it, which enables local police that utilize it to very accurately pinpoint your location, listen to your calls and capture data from any wireless device even when not in use.
The devices come with a hefty $250,000 price tag, but local law enforcement across the country are acquiring them with grants from the Dept. of Homeland Security. Gee, big surprise there huh?
These devices have been around for a number of years, but their use is only now becoming widely known. Last Thursday, Erie County New York sheriff Tim Howard stated that his office has had one since 2008, but is now finish making public statements about its use.

Let them listen I have nothing to hide
I can generate any cell signal with my service monitor, and I have enough amplifiers to boost the generated signal to well over 10 watts, more than enough to STOP control channel handshakes with any cellphone! No control channel….NO PHONE USE!!
This is a downlink signal from a Verizon cell site(tower to hand set). The uplink signal (handset to tower is in the 830 MHz. range).
They should have it in all high drug dealing areas, specially around schools.
the civilian market has the parts to make this $#%&!@* so I can make my own and it be legal as long as I did not act upon the information the beauty of know the laws
That sounds like entrapment to me its like a wire tape with out a warrant
Those law enforcement nuts can,t listen to me, because i don,t have a cell phone, a computer or any of those entrapment gadgets.
How are you commenting on here? Through telekinesis.
IF YOU CA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
entrapment no such thing in todays laws the law has been shooting more people than usual and there use of force is getting way too much and the only charges are against the people that are dealing with the law we no longer have any rights
I have police scanners and reception of the frequencies used by cell phones are block according to federal law prohibiting their being monitored. So how can the pd be allowed to monitor them without a warrant.
