    Great example of slippery slope privacy invasion in action. These stingray device were introduced for “counter terrorism” because who would support terrorists.

      Tbh, I do. I do support terrorists. Funnily enough, they’re not rarely the more moral party (in my kinda twisted sense of morality, anyway).

    You can also just access cell infra operator log. I can imagine they have a realtime API.
