"At the very core" of the Fourth
Amendment "stands the right of a man to
retreat into his own home and there be free
from unreasonable governmental intrusion."
Silverman v. United States, 365 U.S. 505, 511 (1961).
A "Stingray Device" is a device that simulates a cell phone tower. It allows the user to drive by an area, trick the cell phone(s) of individuals into disconnecting from their current cell tower and connecting to the Stingray's stronger signal. The user of the Stingray may then capture information from the phone including user data, phone number, and location. Historically such intrusions would require probable cause and a warrant before law enforcement could use such a device.
