WOMAN WORRIED NEW CELLPHONE TOWER WILL AFFECT SON’S LIFESAVING MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Stacy Warden, who lives in the neighboring Willow Park subdivision, worries the tower’s frequencies will negatively interact with her 7-year-old son Noah’s lifesaving medical equipment. Noah has cerebral palsy with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and a sensory processing disorder that makes him sensitive to stimulants such as electromagnetic frequencies. Noah is unable to walk, talk, crawl or eat on his own, but has cognitive function, and is aware of his surroundings, according to Warden.

“I’m really scared about the impact that it’s going to have on Noah,” Warden said.

IRS Looking To Purchase Another Stingray; Promises To Start Obtaining Warrants

Now that it’s been a few weeks and we’re used to the idea that the IRS has a Stingray device, more information has arrived to put us slightly more ill at ease. Sen. Ron Wyden asked IRS head John Koskinen some pointed questions about the IRS’s cell tower spoofer (“WTF?” wasn’t one of them) and has received some answers.

The IRS assures Wyden — and by extension, the American public — that it only uses them correctly and in a limited fashion through its criminal investigation division.

IRS use of cell-site simulation technology is limited to the federal law enforcement arm of the IRS, our Criminal Investigation division. Only trained law enforcement agents have used cell-site simulation technology, carrying out criminal investigations in accordance with all appropriate federal and state judicial procedures.

IRS LOOKING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER STINGRAY; PROMISES TO START OBTAINING WARRANTS

The IRS has only one* Stingray at this point, but is acquiring another, because you just can’t have enough cell site simulators these days. It will also start obtaining warrants, in accordance with the DOJ’s non-legally-binding suggestion that its agencies do so going forward.

2,000 CASES MAY BE DISMISSED OVER BALTIMORE PD’S SECRET USE OF STINGRAYS

 Baltimore police have commonly used stingrays to investigate even minor crimes, USA Today reported earlier this week. Police concealed the surveillance from suspects and their lawyers, even though Maryland law generally requires that such surveillance be disclosed in court.

“This is a crisis, and to me it needs to be addressed very quickly. No stone is going to be left unturned at this point,” said Baltimore’s deputy public defender, Natalie Finegar, who is coordinating the review.

The public defender’s office is reviewing a surveillance log that lists more than 1,900 cases in which the police indicated they had used a stingray, USA Today reported. It includes at least 200 public defender clients who were ultimately convicted of a crime.
