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.

How Your Local Police Is Spying On You… These devices are not only being used across the Bay area, but according to the ACLU, the following agencies in California either have a Stingray or have received funding to acquire one: Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, Fremont Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Oakland Police Department, Sacramento Sheriff’s Department, San Diego Police Department, San Francisco Police Department, San José Police Department. The ACLU sent out public records requests to 36 state and local Florida law enforcement agencies after discovering that Tallahassee Police Department argued in court to permanently seal court records discussing its Stingray use. The police dept. in Sunrise, FL has already acknowledged having a Stringray. ¨…Florida Department of Law Enforcement (the state police) released heavily redacted records revealing that the agency has spent more than $3 million on Stingrays, that it has signed agreements with a number of local and regional law enforcement agencies allowing them to use the FDLE’s devices, and that it has asked local agencies to sign non-disclosure agreements,¨according to one ACLU report. We don´t know how many local and state law enforcement agencies across the country actually have these devices because their use is completely unregulated and agencies have remained very secretive .
You know what? I think I could have some good, impish fun knowing that my calls were being monitored.. when they showed up at my door they would shoot me for laughing too hard.
Maybe they learned that from the NSA.
