Alternatively, is it legal to jam 3G and 4G networks? I can't imagine the FCC takes kindly to that type of thing.. Sometimes the best solution to constrain government overreach is to turn the bureaucratic machinery loose on itself.
- deepnet 11y agoIs there any evidence of the public being put at risk by these government mandated exploits ? Privacy and Civil Liberties seem less popular arguments to oppose the 'keep the public vulnerable' policy than public safety. Speculative Fiction : "It seems the evil-doers procured the Celebrity's schedule by eavesdropping their calls with a Stingray. During the kidnapping they jammed the cell communications of the security team and trivially evaded pursuit by tracking the cells of the pursuit squad with the Stingray device. You mean by spying on our citizens we have made everyone of us unsafe ? Yes Madam President, our monopoly on the backdoors was only temporary. " It occurs to me that the police themselves use cell communications. Are they similarly vulnerable to tracking / intercepts ? If so then this is a staggeringly short sighted policy.

- deepnet 11y agoI sorry I am unable to get you the medical attention you require as the police have jammed the cell signals due to a nearby protest. Short sighted policy policing puts everyone at risk.
