Feds Got Warrants to Use Fake Cell Towers to Hunt Down Don Lemon’s Producer
Federal investigators obtained warrants to deploy cell-site simulators, a surveillance tool that mimics cellular towers, to locate three individuals: a producer for Don Lemon, a journalist, and a Minnesota state Senate candidate. The use of such simulators against these individuals raises concerns about the scope and justification of federal surveillance authority.
Why it matters: Journalists, media workers, and political candidates should understand that federal agencies can obtain warrants for cell-site simulator deployment in investigations, which may implicate communications privacy and warrant transparency practices your organization should audit.
