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.

More of no rights, and privacy. next they will be deciding if you live or die.
turn your cell off…. smart phone,, pull the battery out if you don’t want to be tracked… then again there are camera’s everywhere at each light, intersection.. highway… RF devices… You can’t hide unless your walking or maybe riding a bike…. off road through the woods….. just turn you cell off. Every electronic transmission is being recorded….all of it.. trust me. I have friends in high places……….

If they want to find you, they will find you.. prepaid phones.. if you payed for it.. even with cash.. I’m sure your name is entered in the system.. bam… they just punch your name on the keyboard and bam they know where you are…. listening to everything…. its big brother so out of control. WAKE UP AMERICA…..
Yep, but is it going to help us be safe???
If this is true than every place that has one needs to be forced to turn them over to the Public and have everyone of them destroyed.
