    This gives the police far too much credit.

    Sure, the fed do this shit for protests, but I can guarantee you that the pigs don’t have the manpower for a flying-techie-hack-squad like you’re imagining

      Do you really not believe that local departments don’t have StingRay’s in their copters or cars, or KingFish’s in their pockets? Harris specifically sells these things to local PD in addition to state and federal agencies.

      Also for general knowledge, you can build your own imsi catcher if you want to. While running it is probably illegal if you’re in the US or EU, who really gives a fuck?
