Great example of slippery slope privacy invasion in action. These stingray device were introduced for “counter terrorism” because who would support terrorists.
Everyone supports terrorists. The difference is if you support the state doing terrorism. If you’re using violence for political gain, that’s the definition of terrorism. States do that all the time. That’s one of the primary roles of police in the US in fact.

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).
So they are often the more moral party?
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

And this app for android is particularly useful:
f-droid.org/packages/com.craxiom.networksurvey
Scans cell towers, WiFi signals, Bluetooth, and notifies if a new tower is found.
Lockdown node on Ios has the 2g toggle
You can also just access cell infra operator log. I can imagine they have a realtime API.
ice is very very far from being the only org that does this
