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.

These do not work for hearing a complete call. You may be able to track down where a particular serial number is from a phone but to hear a full call you need to be able to 1) properly demodulate the signal and 2) be tied into the landline switch to hear the user on the other end. You can not do that with this device. All it can do is detect for presence. Period. I design cellular networks for a living and this doesn’t work as many believe it does
and to think Nixon resigned for such activities!
Maybe i should start talking dirty on my phone than 😀
what happened to privacy tell republican to get on it which they won’t do
These should be outlawed and the manufacture stopped…..
