'Police "did not want to obtain a search warrant because they did not want to reveal information about the technology they used to track the cell phone signal,"'

"As two judges noted during the oral argument, as of 2010 the Tallahassee Police Department had used stingrays a staggering 200 times without ever disclosing their use to a judge to get a warrant."

I'm curious if the government plans to appeal, because if it goes to a higher court, I wouldn't be surprised if it was overturned. I have noticed a pattern where some middle level courts will actually, gasp, rule in favor of the Constitution, only to be overturned in a higher court (years later of course).

This is such a blatant violation of the fourth amendment that it is disgusting (much like many other Constitutional violations happening these days).

Also, please remember that according to Ruse Tice and an unnamed source of Sibel Edmonds, the SCOTUS itself is likely to be compromised via traditional intelligence tools (blackmail, corruption, etc).

This is a symptom of larger issues at hand in society.
