Bill to impose penalties for warrantless Stingray use

Posted on February 25, 2017 by pogowasright.org

Karl Baker reports:

Police who use a controversial cellphone surveillance tool called a Stingray without a warrant could face up to 10 years in prison if a bill introduced to Congress this month becomes law.

The device, originally developed for national intelligence agencies, has been adopted by local police across the United States, including in Delaware.

U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, sponsored the Cell Location Privacy Act of 2017 on Feb. 15.
