California Police Used Stingrays in Planes to Spy on Phones
"The Anaheim Police Department has acknowledged in new documents that it uses surveillance devices known as Dirtboxes—plane-mounted stingrays—on aircraft flying above the Southern California city that is home to Disneyland, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world."According to the United States Census Bureau Anaheim County has a population of 346,997 (2014). Not being from the US, the fact that a county police from an area with a population of 350k is able to afford to buy and operate airplanes amazes me.
