This was published over 5 years ago, some PD's purchased these over 10 years ago, think of how much more the tech has advanced since then. I wonder who besides the police would use these.

The device that makes it possible is called a "cell site simulator." That's the generic name; Stingray is the most common brand name. Initially developed for military use, Stingrays have made their way into local police and sheriff's departments around the country. Months ago, the I-Team sent open records requests to every law enforcement agency in our viewing area and learned that three agencies close to home have been using cell site simulators: the Wake County Sheriff's Department, Durham Police Department, and Raleigh Police Department. A spokesperson for RPD told the I-Team they stopped using theirs when the software needed to be upgraded.
