How police use "fake cell towers" in searches
(Ars Technica): http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/how-florida-cops-went-door-to-door-with-fake-cell-device-to-find-one-man/
"I think it provides a vivid illustration of how invasive this
technology is and how the courts regulate its use. It's one thing
to have a generic description of how it's used; it's another thing
to read a first-hand account of how people are walking up to
doors and windows sending powerful signals to cells inside. This
transcript illustrates both the fact that bystanders' phones were
being tracked and that the police operating the device knew what
the device was doing."
