So everyone knows that the big federal agencies and organizations like CIA, NSA and FBI are the one indulged in the mass surveillance programmes. Here’s something more that you should add to your knowledge: your local police might be actively involved in spying activities too.
In a blog post published by the NYCLU in a blog post, it was clearly mentioned that sheriff’s office signed some stern terms with the FBI to maintain the secrecy and privacy of records.
Stingrays are powerful enough to collect information on all cell phones in a particular area along with the ability to track a particular device and hence locating a person accurately. Thus, cops implemented absolutely no privacy protections with this cell phone spy tool for the people and laws they sworn to protect and serve.
NYCLU Western Region Director John Curr III said, “Stingrays are an advanced surveillance technology that can sweep up very private information, including information on innocent people.”

How Stingray Works?
The cell phone spy tool simulates a cell phone tower and tricks the phone on the network into connecting to the Stingray and thus revealing their location. This cell phone spy tool emits a stronger signal as compared to the signal of nearby cell phone towers and forces the phones to establish a connection and reveal their identity. Wired writes that the Stingrays can control the direction from which the mobile phone is connected.
With these revelations, it is clear that the police departments and agencies continue to keep the public and court in the dark by intruding in your private world.
