Local law enforcement agencies from suburban Southern California to rural North Carolina have been using an obscure cellphone tracking tool, at times without search warrants, that gives them the power to follow people’s movements months back in time, according to public records and internal emails obtained by The Associated Press.

@voltronic Yet another stealth tool used without our knowledge by law enforcement. Stingray is another one.
@voltronic
This is explicitly prohibited in San Francisco.
It's unfortunate because most of the troublemakers are coming from the east bay cities. Wish there was a more efficient process to still do this with a warrant.
@voltronic Always need to keep an eye on law enforcement with these tools.
Looks like a double edged sword and can easily be abused.
I dont like it.
