Civil Rights Group Proves NYPD Has Tracked Cell Phones Without Warrants Since 2008

Description

A civil liberties group said on Thursday New York City's police have made extensive use of covert devices to track cell phones without obtaining warrants since 2008. According to Reuters, the New York Civil Liberties Union released files that showed the New York Police Department used "cell site simulators" to track nearby cell phones more than a 1,000 times over the past eight years.The devices mimic cell towers and intercept signals from nearby phones to gather information. The NYCLU said that data can include locations of calls, numbers that are called or texted and even the content of communications. The simulators can also sweep up information from nearby "bystander" phones. The extent of the devices has largely been shrouded in secrecy, as departments and private manufacturers such as Harris Corporation have refused to disclose information about their use. The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
