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.

CONGRESS DO YOUR JOB AND DO AWAY WITH THIS
That’s $#%&!@*ed up.
Ill scramble their frequencies so they won’t hear nothing
this is wrong, they wouldnt want us to listen to theirs, invading privacy.
sorry to tell you I can pick up any signal here or across the seas with a short band radio and it costs a $#%&!@* load less ……I can listen to them get one at your local radio shack ….or you can build one right in the store ……..
This is WHY the people must IGNORE the demands of the FCC, they are NOT empowered to write or enforce laws, in FACT, they can NOT do so, they can only make up ‘RULES’, which is why they are known as NPRM, or Notice of Proposed RuleMaking.. NEVER LAWS!!
Cops wasting OUR money on these devices must be eliminated, they are violating OUR right to PRIVACY and spying, and NO COP has any authority or power to pry into OUR lives without a VALID WARRANT, describing what is to be searched, or the person or things seized!
In short: NO WARRANT……..NO SEARCH!!
obama = death care if you don’t buy his plan = yes you can keep your plan! obama wants to take away your cellphones and Television! Wake Up!
My heart breaks every time a little bit of our constitutinal right are eroded!!
