During the 2020 protests in Portland, Or the US Marshalls flew a plane equipped cell phone snooping equipment over downtown for hours every day. The equipment acts as a mock cell tower so mobile phone traffic in the area gets routed through their tools before going to an actual tower. It also collects data from wifi in the area, in addition to whatever unknown abilities it has. This was around the time anonymous federal agents were picking up people off the streets in white vans and hiding in bushes shooting pepperballs at people walking by.
While I agree the right gets more of a pass, the capitol does actually have its own cell network and they did bust people whose phones were connected inside.
The major difference between January 6th and Portland was that on J 6 the police presence was minimal while Portland had paramilitary outfits roaming the streets.
@stratosmacker ho I have learn about this system only a few days ago and had no time to look further. That explain why they advertise with so much google app… thanks for the info :)
If they are allowed to do these other countries will follow suit. This is a dangerous precedent in which no one is safe regardless of boarders.

They should have tons of audio and video of the insurrection too then right? Or is this only a tool we use on democrats?

That sounds like a Stingray.
I’m not buying a phone that rats me out.
Show me you have my back apple / android
They don’t. If you’re going to have a smart phone and don’t want them up in your shit get LineageOS or GrapheneOS.
Only solution is an older phone with custom ROM
@hydra @Shartacus or a linux phone, with kaios / pmos. Still not ready for everyone, but I hope it will come soon enought
FYI KaiOS is spyware garbage moreso than stock Android w/ gapps. Download a GSI rom if you want to run stock android on most phones post Android 8.1

Sadly not too many options where I live.
If there is a custom ROM on it anyway, why would it need to be older?
Newer phones are harder to get custom ROMs on and most of them don’t have them.
Yeah, like a Nokia 3210i
