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.

My conversations will cause ZZZZ . . .
Illegal Wire Tapping ??
So, why have I not yet been arrested for trying to over throw the US government by Constitutional reasons? —Oh that is right, I am allowed to use my FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t care who listens to me either, I have nothing to hide, and if they do listen I bet they fall asleep because I am boring!
I say nothing that I’m ashamed of.
Then you don’t mind if I listen to all your calls, every single one? How about if I hang over your shoulder and breathe down your neck while you are on the computer? How about if I take notes for your Permanent Record?
A .338 would stop that.
I’m gonna look into getting one for myself.
Scratch that $250,000 Not in the budget.
any way to protect against this?
