“Rather than disclose the possible use of a stingray, also known as a cell site simulator, Detective John L. Haley cited a non-disclosure agreement, likely with a federal law enforcement agency (such as the FBI) and/or the Harris Corporation, since the company is one of the dominant manufacturers of such devices. Stingrays can be used to determine a phone’s location, and they can also intercept calls and text messages.  Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry G. Williams retorted, ‘You don’t have a nondisclosure agreement with the court,’ according to the Baltimore Sun.  The prosecution then withdrew the evidence of the phone and gun but said it would still pursue the case.”
