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.

It’s so hilarious that you laugh about losing your rights?
Please tell me again how this administration actually abides by the constitution and how we are not living in a police state! The right to privacy in your person, papers and possessions no longer apply with this lawless DICKTATORSHIP we live in under this current administration! You would think liberals and libertarians would be screaming at the top of their lungs about this!
Well if they want to listen to mine, they are board as a box of rocks.
And HOW is this NOT a violation of OUR RIGHTS?
Possibly Patriot Act
