Police use cellphone spying device

The Erie County sheriff says he's done making public comments about a cellphone surveillance device used by his police agency to gather information on persons of interest.

Sheriff Tim Howard told WGRZ Thursday that he won't publicly discuss the matter any longer because doing so could adversely impact investigations.

A stingray is a device that mimics a cell tower and thereby tricks all wireless devices on the same network into communicating with it.

So, the sheriff is GUILTY of misuse of funds, (the device is not being used to prevent terrorism).
The sheriff is GUILTY of electronic stalking, invasion of privacy, wiretapping, warrantless searches.
In other words, he thinks his is a Communist or a fascist that can do whatever he pleases or bend and distort any constitutional intention in the name of law enforcement.
HE is the TERRORIST.
