Cell site simulator device
(Biss, D-Skokie; Williams, D-Chicago) creates the Citizen Privacy Protection Act to regulate the use of “stingrays” that simulate a cell site tower to trick cell phones into using them. This bill prevents law enforcement from using stingrays unless they get a court order based on probably cause and may only be used for to locate or track the location of a communications device. Passed both chambers.
