The Stingray: How Law Enforcement Can Track Your Every Move

RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) -- You could be just about anywhere and data on your cell phone can be scooped up by law enforcement without your ever knowing. It happens all the time.
The device that makes it possible is called a "cell site simulator." That's the generic name; Stingray is the most common brand name.
Initially developed for military use, Stingrays have made their way into local police and sheriff's departments around the country. Months ago, the I-Team sent open records requests to every law enforcement agency in our viewing area and learned that three agencies close to home have been using cell site simulators: the Wake County Sheriff's Department, Durham Police Department, and Raleigh Police Department. A spokesperson for RPD told the I-Team they stopped using theirs when the software needed to be upgraded.
The ACLU's Mike Meno has been watching Stingrays spread into local law enforcement for years.
"Like a lot of militarized technology and surveillance technology, this is something that was developed overseas and it was developed for one use, but then it comes back home and is used against our own citizens. It's used here in the States. And the government will say, 'We need to keep this confidential,' but we have constitutional rights. We're supposed to have checks and balances," he said.

It’s gone further than law enforcement, here in Oklahoma. When Covid set in here, and things were shutting down, etc, if you were tested positive for Covid, the next day you got a call from the health department asking you questions about your symptoms, where you’ve been, and around who else. I had no symptoms, felt great. Two days later I went to a different location and tested negative. The next day I went next town over, and tested negative. I assumed I had a false positive the first time, since I tested negative twice in the same week. Next day I was at Walmart and my phone rang, it was the health department asking me why I was not at home quarantined. They knew where I was at, tracked my cell phone. Told me first time is a warning, second time I’ll be fined up to $1500, and jail time. Misdemeanor charge. I found out they were trying out this device in 4 counties here, and mine was one of the four. I was shocked, but I understand that they are trying to prevent the spread of Covid. Several people were fined for this reason, and I’m sure this is the same device talked about here.

They do exist. I was resting at a rest stop but had to leave because of shady people.

I started leaving and those 2 deputies proceed back to their squad cars and began to tail me. They had nothing so they u-turned away from me. I found an active parking lot to rest some more only to be harassed by the two same deputies that were at the rest stop. What was suspicious about the whole situation was that there was no way these deputies could have known I was there unless they have followed me from A-to-B. LAW ENFORCEMENT have became a weapon against the people they swore to protect. This is why I dislike LAW ENFORCEMENT and must be abolished and re-institute new guards under a act I would like to call, "HONOR YOUR OATH ACT".

The only way a “StingRay” can force a cell phone to connect to it instead of the cell tower is to have a stronger signal. I wonder if the StingRay is in compliance with FCC guidelines. But, like any criminal organization, laws need not apply.

[@liquidbraino]

That's not how it works. Cell phones can connect to multiple towers all at once. Up to six even with the older technology (3G) and they do by default anyway.

[@germanjohn5626]

There is something called a capture effect. A cell site is not very powerful by design, it can't be since it has to balance a fine line between the transmit power of the signal and the receive signal. A cell phone has comparatively very low power. Some of them are extreme low to facilitate longer battery life. So if the cell tower had too much output power, the phone would be able to hear it but the site would not be able to hear the phone. Since a cell phone by design locks on to the strongest signal it sees any device that is closer to and gets captured by it even if it a weak unlicensed part 15 low power device it will be able to capture your phone. Stingray will not work if you are very close to an existing cell tower and the sting ray device is away from it. Criminals have gotten wise to that and many stand right in the main beam close to the tower so that other devices can not capture their phones.

Where are these devices located? at the police department or do they have them in a locker somewhere at the courts house? When the cops take them out their cases and turn them on who's watching and doing the oversight that they are using them accordingly to the letter of the law. Who's policing the police?? do you realy think they get a warrant every time? Warrants are only needed if you want what you find out to be used as evidence in court. But you can always find that evidence in other ways if you know what you are looking for ahead of time. This machine is more likely used in that manner.. this is a intelligence gathering tool not a evidence gathering tool.. U don't believe they spent 200k on a paperweight do you? when you give someone absolute power it will absolutely corrupt them and it doesn't matter how good, honest, righteous or professional the person was till that point. The outcome is always the same. You give the power and it's not a matter if it will be misused but a matter of when it will be misused. This is why the founding fathers wrote that we need a bloody revolution every 12 years to preserve the rights of the people.. the roots of the tree of liberty need the blood of tyrants to grow.. they didn't write that lightly. Washington was so loved he could have been a life time president yet he was pure and good enough to walk away after a few years..

To anyone who isn’t aware your smartphone is listening to every single word you said regardless if making a call or not, especially if you have any sort of google backed app on your phone such as KZbin, google maps etc… a friend once mentioned to me that his neighbors recent got an above ground pool. We talked about it for 2 minutes that day and I never looked anything above ground pool related before or after that convo. For a week straight I was getting ads on KZbin for above ground pools. Another time I was hanging out with my neighbors who are both English and Spanish fluent but only speak to their family in Spanish. For about a week straight all of the commercials KZbin would run were in Spanish, even the commercials I had seen that were the exact same only in English. Never looked up anything Spanish language related. I’m not saying it’s logging and storing word for word convos but it definitely is listening for key words and analyzing my convos.

I completely understand some people say things like "the war on drugs", but the militarization of our police has now given them the idea that they are fighting a war and the population is the enemy, this is ridiculous that we allow this to go on. They won't talk about these devices because they know exactly what they do and they don't want to be sued. I believe all police departments should start having new training programs, there needs to be more de-escalation training, they shouldn't be showing up to alot of situations with full tactical gear and APC's with a 20mm cannon. We need to pass laws to stop these private military companies from selling war equipment to our local police departments, why does any police department need those Big Bear Armoured Vehicles?? Departments are starting to have better gear than some of our troops overseas. If we don't stop this now, pretty soon they will be flying mini drones around EVERYWHERE and you will not be able to go anywhere, without being followed with a livestream to police HQ.

That means every public office is a foreign state, including all political subdivisions. (i.e. every single court is considered a separate foreign entity).” “Title 22 USC (Foreign relations and Intercourse) Chapter 11 identifies all public officials as foreign agents.” “Title 28 USC 3002 Section 15A states United States is a Federal Corporation and not a government, including the Judicial Procedural Section.” “Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 4j states that the Court jurisdiction and immunity fall under a foreign state.” “Title 28 USC 1602-1611 ( Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act ) allows the jurisdiction of a court to be challenged, and a demand of proper jurisdiction to be stated.” “July 27, 1868, 15 Statutes at Large Chapter 249 Section 1 “Acts Concerning American Citizens in a Foreign State,” expatriation, is what is broken when jurisdiction is demanded, and is not met with an answer.” “In 1933, elected officials and the alleged “country” have been given to the United Nations Government system.

Under the Bush Administration, B.A.R. Attorney General Ashcroft and Haliburton established FEMA Concentration Camps for U.S. citizens who refuse the new world order/one world government.” That the International Organization Immunities Act of 12-9-1945 - - Congress relinquished every public office over to the UN. Local governments up to the president fall under UN jurisdiction. Congress gave the UN the right to dictate what laws will be international & gave them the right to tax the States. “That the International Reorganization Rescind Act- Congress put this into form but they never took action to rescind the act. Fairly recently an Ohio judge filed suit claiming that Congress did not have the right to relinquish government authority over to the UN (a corporation or foreign country) and that the Congressional act was a constitutional violation because they didn’t put it to the States or the people to agree on it. In 2005 the US Supreme court declined to hear the case therefore all public offices are under UN jurisdiction & they are not American Citizens.” “That the Oath of Office - Title 5 USC 331, 332, 333 backed up by Title 22 CFR Foreign Relations 92.12 - 92.31 and Title 8 USC, section 1481 - the public official relinquishes his national citizenship and are thus foreign agents as stipulated under Title 22 USC, chapter 11, section 611, loss of national citizenship - Public officials are no longer US Citizens, but rather are foreign agents and must register as such.” “That Title 28 USC CHAPTER 176 - FEDERAL DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURE. The Federal Debt Collection Procedure places all courts under equity and commerce and under the International Monetary Fund.” “That in 1950 81st Congress investigated the Lawyers Guild and determined that the B.A.R.

[@discountmike8856]

Know this since I read about it in USA today at SCI Graderford.

[@tonyt601]

Sooooo, this is how the cars,trucks, planes and helicopters are keeping up with me. I knew it was something. Well it’s here in tx between Houston and Dallas area. Also it’s more than the law enforcement using it. The health department also..

[@jimmyjames7809]

Priority to keep people safe? But the Supreme Court ruled police are under NO obligation to keep people safe?

[@loc4725]

Well, you only pay for them...

[@72troy455]

+Website guy They are the enforcers for those who truly run shit.

[@Qrayon]

Fortunately that ruling does not FORBID police to keep us safe. If the police want to keep us safe, they are allowed to.

[@leonardhosard6302]

JIMMY JAMES BULLSHIT!!

[@travism4528]

Yea Right. They have no problem bullying and fund raising, but if you need them, they scatter like cockroaches. I once held a person's vehicle in impound for a bank. Threat person contact me and threatened to violently take it back. I contacted the police and asked for an officer to intervene. They never showed up. I called and asked what had happened. The dispatcher stated that the officer could not find my address and therefore proceeded to go on to another issue. Luckily, I handled the situation nonviolently. I could have been killed and the cops didn't give a shit.

In Sacramento California aclu sued the sheriff for the misuse of it. Rule of thumb, if u are arrested and they say there was a confidential informant. Just know, there was none..They were monitoring ur activity.

yahoo email and googl Gmail all scan your email for key words, and when flagged they hand them over to police, no search warrant needed, its in the user agreement, your emails are not private, they become the property of the email service, a relatively famous case recently with yahoo email was how a person used it for talking to girls in the philippines and looking for little girls to have waiting for him to pick up once he got there in his small plane so he will not need to be there long and do the actual foot work of collecting the little girls, so in a way it was a good thing they did this, for this one case, but it you like to write crazy stories or off jokes, dont ever write a story of crime in text or emails,

[@citylights8678]

Without a warrant from a judge based on solid evidence it wont hold up in court for half a second so just dont do anything highly illegal and youll be fine

There was a time when there were public telephones nearly everywhere and people used them. Everyone did not have to have their own phone for Gods sake.

[@ColdOsburn]

I feel like someone's using one of these stingrays in my town using it to sell our numbers to companies to spam call us

[@tonytanner4863]

NOW IS 1984!

[@chrisduke3251]

Any department using one of these devices should be sued in class action by the community's they use them in. No wonder they don't want to talk about it. Violating personal rights IS a big deal and could bankrupt the departments and the citiy's they've been hired by!!!! It's criminal! Get a hold of the State Attorney General and start filing complaints! Get the ball rolling!

[@tommyconancoates7097]

Chris Duke Best advice ever!!! So true as well!!!

[@denisedesrosiers8817]

Chris Duke Good luck with that! What everyone doesn't understand is that all attorneys, judges, representatives, etc have been paid off thereby leaving each person on their own! All protections/laws no longer exist for certain people! Sad, but true!

Pro tip: your cell signal drops dramatically and artificially, hang up your call, shut off your phone.

[@rockobully6205]

Well I guess there should never be a missing child or person if this tec. is out there and in use!

[@kevinsingleton5745]

Rocko Bully yep! Where’s that missing college girl? I guess she didn’t have her cell phone on her!

[@salmanza5568]

There's no money in missing people. waiting for people outside a bar, now thats a source of revenue ;)

True, to a certain extent, but I WOULD be curious what ol Benny would have to say about THIS thing that wasn't so much of a problem back in the 18th Century: Technology

[@chichijima4257]

Law enforcer have the right to track any one and when ever they feel. Police are to be respect at all time.

[@renierlindeque9387]

This is a good thing. I mean if you arent doing anything wrong you dont have anything to worry about. South Africa is an example of what happens when crime gets out of hand . We need this here

[@longsleevethong1457]

That cop said what every cop thinks…..as long as I feel personally justified then I don’t care what anyone else thinks. They do not care about the constitution.

[@freecitymoneyphoenixknowdg3252]

December 26, 1933 49 Statute 3097 Treaty Series 881 ( Convention on Rights and Duties of States ) stated CONGRESS replaced STATUTES with international law, placing all STATES underinternational law.” “December 9, 1945, the International Organization Immunities Act relinquished every public office of United States to United Nations.” “22 Code on Federal Regulations/CFR 92.12-92.31 FR Heading “Foreign Relationship” states that an oath is required to take office.” “Title 8 USC 1481 states once an oath of office is taken, citizenship is relinquished, thus one becomes a foreign entity, agency, or state. That means every public office is a foreign state, including all political subdivisions. (i.e. every single court is considered a separate foreign entity).” “Title 22 USC (Foreign relations and Intercourse) Chapter 11 identifies all public officials as foreign agents.” “Title 28 USC 3002 Section 15A states United States is a Federal Corporation and not a government, including the Judicial Procedural Section.” “Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 4j states that the Court jurisdiction and immunity fall under a foreign state.” “Title 28 USC 1602-1611 ( Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act ) allows the jurisdiction of a court to be challenged, and a demand of proper jurisdiction to be stated.” “July 27, 1868, 15 Statutes at Large Chapter 249 Section 1 “Acts Concerning American Citizens in a Foreign State,” expatriation, is what is broken when jurisdiction is demanded, and is not met with an answer.” “In 1933, elected officials and the alleged “country” have been given to the United Nations Government system. Under Senator Barack Hussein Obama’s Bill, SB2433, the Poverty Act of 2007, the UN military forces can step on American soil to confiscate weapons from U.S. citizens. Under the Bush Administration, B.A.R. Attorney General Ashcroft and Haliburton established FEMA Concentration Camps for U.S. citizens who refuse the new world order/one world government.” That the International Organization Immunities Act of 12-9-1945 - - Congress relinquished every public office over to the UN. Local governments up to the president fall under UN jurisdiction. Congress gave the UN the right to dictate what laws will be international & gave them the right to tax the States. “That the International Reorganization Rescind Act- Congress put this into form but they never took action to rescind the act. Fairly recently an Ohio judge filed suit claiming that Congress did not have the right to relinquish government authority over to the UN (a corporation or foreign country) and that the Congressional act was a constitutional violation because they didn’t put it to the States or the people to agree on it. In 2005 the US Supreme court declined to hear the case therefore all public offices are under UN jurisdiction & they are not American Citizens.” “That the Oath of Office - Title 5 USC 331, 332, 333 backed up by Title 22 CFR Foreign Relations 92.12 - 92.31 and Title 8 USC, section 1481 - the public official relinquishes his national citizenship and are thus foreign agents as stipulated under Title 22 USC, chapter 11, section 611, loss of national citizenship - Public officials are no longer US Citizens, but rather are foreign agents and must register as such.” “That Title 28 USC CHAPTER 176 - FEDERAL DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURE. The Federal Debt Collection Procedure places all courts under equity and commerce and under the International Monetary Fund.” “That in 1950 81st Congress investigated the Lawyers Guild and determined that the B.A.R. Association is founded and run by communists under definition. Thus any elected official that is a member of the B.A.R. will only be loyal to the B.A.R. and not the people.”
