A bipartisan superslot group of lawmakers is pursuing a federal ban against the use of controversial cellphone-tracking gear without the express permission of a judge.

Known colloquially as “Stingrays,” cell-site simulators allow police and other authorities to narrow the location of a cellphone user down to a perceptible range, even placing them inside a particular home or apartment. Once used to track targets in America’s overseas wars, the devices—no longer the size of a suitcase, but concealable under an agent’s clothes—work by masquerading as cell towers, forcing connections with any mobile phones nearby.

Despite the plethora of public records demonstrating their use, the government has long considered Stingrays a secret worth protecting. The Department of Justice, for instance, has gone as far as to teach state and local police how to avoid mentioning Stingrays specifically when seeking warrants from judges. Officers with knowledge of their use have been forbidden from taking the witness stand. The FBI has also required outside agencies to sign non-disclosure agreements when obtaining the devices, at least in the past.

Famously, in 2014, U.S. Marshals seized a bevy of Stingray-related documents from a local law enforcement partner in Florida, having learned that the records could be provided to civil liberties attorneys citing the state’s generous public records statute.

“Cell site simulators have existed in a kind of legal no-man’s land for far too long,” Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat of Oregon, said. “Our bipartisan bill ends the secrecy and uncertainty around Stingrays and other cell site simulators and replaces it with clear, transparent rules for when the government can use these invasive surveillance devices.”

The “Cell Site Simulator Warrant Act” would establish a probable cause requirement for Stingrays; a threshold beyond “reasonable suspicion,” which demands officers present sufficient information capable of convincing a prudent person that a crime is being committed.

While wireless data has been accelerate up and WiFi connectivity expands round the Earth, streaming video content is data intensive and also there are still many conditions in which off line content is still actually a better option. When some airlines offer you in flight entertainment, I prefer to rent my own pictures and view them onto my devices.
