ACLU: Baltimore Police Uses ‘Invasive’ Surveillance Technology

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The American Civil Liberties Union is accusing the Baltimore Police Department of using invasive surveillance technology.

Tracey Leong explains why they are so concerned.

The ACLU claims the police are violating people’s privacy in a way that’s intrusive and illegal by tapping into their cell phones using a device called “Stingray.”

“Stingray” is a small portable device that mimics a cell phone tower, forcing all cell phones within range to connect, allowing access to cell records, text messages and even the precise location.
