# Stingrays: Cell Phone Privacy and Warrantless Surveillance
|
|
|
|
How would you feel if law enforcement showed up in your living room, demanded
|
|
your cell phone, and started writing down your call history and text messages?
|
|
How would you feel if you didn't even know that they were in your home to begin
|
|
with, let alone stealing private data? [This is precisely what is happening when
|
|
law enforcement uses "Stingrays" to locate individuals][0], collecting data of
|
|
every other individual within range of the device in the process. Even *if* you
|
|
are the subject of surveillance, this is still an astonishing violation of
|
|
privacy. (Of course, law enforcement could always demand such records from your
|
|
service provider, but such an act at the very least has a paper trail.)
