      They already can use stingers to see all phones and texts and calls from cell towers. It impersonates a cell tower and forwards it through. As I understand it. After 9/11 they had grants and distributed them nationwide through some homeland security thing. State police, larger districts all have them.

      This might just make it legal to use that info in court.

      As of now they need to find a plausible legal way they found that info to use it in court, or other evidences.
