you will think that something of this magnitudde will be used only on Judge approved warrants.

Edit

Just came across this information about how the makers of stingray device misled FCC.

This needs to get out there also ACLU is on top of this and should continue aapplying pressure.

I might also add that the fear is criminals, corporate spies and foreign intelligent agencies could be in posession of said
device which is why ACLU wants the device banned.

But one of the ways to prevent this device from capturing your cell towers is to ensure your mobile signal is
on 3G or 4G network. An IMSI Catcher works by blocking the smarter 3G or 4G signals forcing the phones in the area
to switch to unsecured 2G network.
