State Judges pushing back against Stingray.

[Android3.14]

1. I would gently suggest you missed the point

Your example, "You get arrested for suspicion of a crime, say murder. The police beat a confession out of you, and during the beating you expose the location of the murder weapon. It has your finger prints and DNA on it," is one that implies the person committed the murder. It further implies that the only way to investigate a murder with any success is by using illegal surveillance and torture. A better example would be when the police use the information to prosecute an innocent person or use the information to blackmail local officials and regular citizens.

That is the actual danger of this Stingray crap.

Without public oversight, state surveillance corrupts those who are watching, suppresses democracy and promotes fascism.
