Rights groups challenge UK cops over refusal to hand over info on IMSI catchers

To quote Benjamin Franklin "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

The fact is that the crooks that you should worry about are well aware of IMSI devices and either use burner phones, land lines or have bought/downloaded IMSI spoof detectors (like this https://github.com/CellularPrivacy/Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector).

The public has a right to know about who has devices that can be mis-used for political or personal purposes so they can watch the watchers.
