I am also very pleased with this decision.

Warrantless use of Stingrays on every citizen must end.  This technology never should have been used without a warrant in the first place.

My guess is that police outside the ruling's jurisdiction will keep right on using Stingrays on everyone until a court actually forces them to cease and desist.[/quote]

My guess is it will eventually end up before the Supreme Court and the conservatives on the court will side with the cops the way they always do.[/quote]

Politicizing this issue is a very ignorant thing to do, considering that the Obama administration fought tooth and nail to first keep Stingray "classified" then to defend its blatantly unconstitutional use:

The reality is: few notable figures from the left OR the right work to protect our civil liberties from government intrusion.

Two exceptions (one democrat, one republican) are: Ron Wyden and Rand Paul.  More Americans from BOTH parties need to familiarize themselves with these unconstitutional government intrusions, and work together to demand they stop (either by lawsuits or lawmaking).[/quote]
