A question about the device called stingray

Use of the Stingray is a hot topic in Maryland. Several trials have ended abruptly because the police are bound by private agreements with the federal government that prohibits disclosures about this technology. Our firm website collected some of this information in a post entitled "The War on your Constitution," which is linked below. You should also looks at the most recent Sun reports over the last two weeks on this subject.

I don't know if it is submissable, but likely it is admissible unless warrant defective.

Wiretaps and tracking with the stingray are two different things. Wiretaps tend to listen into phone calls/intercept text messaging; while the stingray device tracks the location of a cell phone via pings from local cellular towers. The device itself is not illegal, however, many local police jurisdictions are being told to keep hush on the subject, and prosecutors are being forced to dismiss cases where evidence was gathered using the stingray device. The short answer is that yes, evidence gathered using a stingray device is likely admissible in court (although the court of appeals has yet to rule on the subject). But there may also be even more admissible evidence in your husband's case on which to sustain a conviction. Retain counsel immediately.
