Though the Obama Administration is making much of its “need” to be able to use vehicle tracking devices without the need for evidence or warrants, the FBI seems to have simply ignored the problem and switched to cellphones.
The Justice Department admits that the FBI “routinely” uses the Stingray tracking program to track Americans’ locations by using their cellphones, and listens in on their conversations.
The Justice Department officials say that they can do all of this with orders and that they don’t require actual warrants, but insisted that the data collected is relatively limited in most cases.
That’s not satisfying the ACLU, which points out that the devices are capturing a large number of phone users’ data, and not simply the target, and that there seems to be little to no oversight, with courts not requiring probable cause as with a search warrant.

That picture of scum-bag Obama, it captures his scum-bag heart to perfection.
These illegal activities have been going on for some time from the FBI, the NSA, the JTF-GNO and the US Strategic Command at Offutt AFB, Nebraska. The NSA and JTF-GNO are subsidiaries of StratCom. All have been involved in illegal phone and computer hacking, cyber attacks, gang stalking, smear campaigns and black-listing critics and whistleblowers. Obama and his ilk have failed to stop their illegal activities.
Well fairly soon they will put drones in the sky that have cameras capable of monitoring every moving vehicle in a city and learing into any uncurtaned window. Take a look at this http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/rise-of-the…. Makes me feel safe in my person and effects.
Americans who give two cents about their privacy,. their health and about their liberties, and also – about their personal safety – need to wean themselves off of cell phones.
Come on, people. Wake up! We got along perfectly fine for hundreds of years before cell phones were invented – and we can most certainly learn again how to do without them. These things are probably one of the most dangerous and sinister inventions ever to be created. Having one of these things on your person is equivalent to surrendering your privacy and liberties to whatever tyrannical gang of control freak monsters who might wind up in power over us.
What will it take to convince people of this truth? Will it require Obama ordering a drone missile strike on someone who wrote an anti-war, anti-NWO oriented letter to the Editor of his local newspaper and the missile was able to hit and kill the dissident because of the GPS location data that the drone was provided as a result of tracking his cell phone signal data?
Toss these deadly gadgets in the trash, people. Before they get you killed.
