Is the Department of Justice using spy planes to gather cellphone information on Americans?

November 13, 2014

big-brother-watching-you-via-cellphone  This might sound like something out of a science fiction novel and this might just be tinfoil hat material but, according to this article, the Department of Injustice is using planes to create fake cellphone towers in order to gather cellphone information and innocent Americans are being ensnared.

  And I thought police departments using Stingray technology to create fake cellphone towers was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet…

  Here is more:

The Justice Department is scooping up data from thousands of mobile phones through devices deployed on airplanes that mimic cellphone towers, a high-tech hunt for criminal suspects that is snagging a large number of innocent Americans, according to people familiar with the operations.

The U.S. Marshals Service program, which became fully functional around 2007, operates Cessna aircraft from at least five metropolitan-area airports, with a flying range covering most of the U.S. population, according to people familiar with the program.

Planes are equipped with devices—some known as “dirtboxes” to law-enforcement officials because of the initials of the Boeing Co. unit that produces them—which mimic cell towers of large telecommunications firms and trick cellphones into reporting their unique registration information.

Cellphones are programmed to connect automatically to the strongest cell tower signal. The device being used by the U.S. Marshals Service identifies itself as having the closest, strongest signal, even though it doesn’t, and forces all the phones that can detect its signal to send in their unique registration information.

  After reading this all I can think about is the NDAA Reauthorization Act and its provision to fund up to 30,000 drones to fly over American cities by the year 2020.

  What do you think those drones are going to be used for…

    Bringing to mind the TV series, “Person Of Interest” more & more! “We have been under military martial law (since Lincoln) state of emergency – The Lieber Code = rules of engagement, how they deal with civilians. Rod can prove our names were “Capitalized” and the strawman accounts are real.” http://www.morningliberty.com/2012/11/02/mitt-romney-exploits-bush-sr-puppet-romney/
    Under these ‘laws’ those ‘spying’ justify themselves.

        I didn’t watch all of them – most of the first. I think you’ll get the jest of it though. Probable relates to some of what Bill Cooper spoke about (the Fed and Central Banking). “This case represents a good effort to restore Constitutional government and slay the Corporation dragon. Our current system (which will surprise many) is a Democratic-Federal Franchise. The destruction of our Constitutional Republic has taken place over many years and is well documented.” http://anticorruptionsociety.com/national/dale-rodney-vs-united-states/

        It does play into what Bill Cooper was talking about. He claimed that in 1933 a state of emergency was declared in the US which has never been lifted.
