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

An nonymous Cowerd

my friends work at DATONG who have/do supply lots of IMSI's in the past according to both the Guardian and the NYT. When I called to ask my mate for a pricelist, he agreed to meet next time I'm in Leeds for a beer, but he refused completely to even tell me what items were on their 'for sale' catalog. I havent dared go and have the beer, in case he has to file a 'contact report' or some such twaddle.

I have a budget, and a valid use for IMSI's at work, but there is rather a lot of secrecy - hence suspicion!

I suppose UK plod, the one's who are left after the cuts, don't wish to own up to "parallel construction" and "database policing" - tho' they have referred to "intelligence led policing" when they actually shoot the right/wrong target.
