New York City cops have used Stingray cellphone trackers over 1,000 times since 2008

The NYPD has no written policy for the use of cell-site simulators, but according to the FOIL response, they were typically accompanied by a low-level court order rather than a warrant, a practice that is common in police departments throughout the country but has drawn criticism from a number of civil liberties groups. In September, the Justice Department publicly broke with this practice, requiring that all federal law enforcement agencies acquire a search warrant before deploying a cell-site simulator.
