Local cops will often not even acknowledge using Stingray devices (which basically act as fake cell towers to intercept calls), at the insistence of both the feds they borrow from and the manufactures of the devices themselves.
What a radical thought to actually require a warrent (eek!) before engaging in "search and seizure". What will they think of next?

Federal lawmakers introduced a new bill that would require state and local law enforcement agencies to obtain a warrant before they could use stingray devices.
