ILLEGAL WIRETAPS -- Legally, Stingray phone-intercept devices are supposed to be used with a warrant or appropriate court order to gain information on specific suspects. Originally, the government gave Stingrays to local police forces to aid terrorism investigations. Now, police departments across the country dont want to admit they are using the devices for unrelated purposes. This appears to be what is happening in Chicago. There is no question this would be a violation of civil liberties if law enforcement is collecting personal information from cell phones without warrants.
