FBI now says StingRay surveillance can be disclosed

Local law enforcement is not prohibited by the FBI from disclosing use of StingRay surveillance technology that can mimic the behavior of mobile phone towers, the agency says in contradiction with previous interpretations. The Federal Bureau of Investigation told The Washington Post that its non-disclosure agreement with local law enforcement agencies regarding StingRays, or "cell site simulators," is actually not intended to shield the technology's use.
