I think the solution to this has to be mainly technological, not (primarily) legal. Fake cell towers are not NSA-level technology and it seems that they are being deployed in lots of places [1][2], probably by lots of different parties. If a bunch of people are doing it, changing the law won't help that much. Probably not all of these actors are 'legit' (police or whatever). The networks themselves have to be secured better so that this is impossible, or at least much harder, to pull off.
