This is pretty fucked up. Stingrays are fake cell towers which harvest information from every cell phone which is with-in it's range. It's obvious mass spying which is used primarily by police forces around the country. They are tracking your location with out a warrant by tracking your cell phone location. Supposedly they can track you down to a specific room with this system.

They are made by Harris corp which is in my home town and it's where they were developed. My uncle was the Vice President of Radiation, which eventually changed names to become Harris corp. They developed the first police radar guns way back then, which I have never forgiven him for, but they have a long history of developing things like this.

Anyway.. they are part of the domestic spying problem it seems..
