U.S. Marshals seize local cops’ spying records to keep them from ACLU
In a move that staff for the American Civil Liberties Union are calling “beyond the worst transparency violations” they’ve seen, the U.S. Marshals Service has seized documents belonging to the police department of Sarasota, Florida, merely to prevent the ACLU from looking at them. The documents pertain to a case in which the Sarasota police used a device that simulates a cell tower to locate and track smartphones without obtaining a probable cause warrant. The device, called a stingray, works by tricking mobiles into believing they’re connecting to a carrier’s tower.
