“The sheriff in San Bernardino County—east of Los Angeles County—has deployed a stingray hundreds of times without a warrant, and under questionable judicial authority.  In response to a public records request, the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department (SBSD) sent a rare example of a template for a ‘pen register and trap and trace order’ application which, surprisingly, cites no legal authority on which to base its activities. The SBSD did not respond to Ars’ request for comment. Further, the SBSD, like other departments nationwide, maintains a questionable non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the FBI to dismiss cases rather than reveal information in court about stingrays.”
