Lots of cops don't carry off duty and I'll never understand why. I ask everyone on this board to stay vigilant and if you see something suspicious in your neighborhood don't hesitate to call 911. It can save a life.

Not to take away from this tragedy, but I had no idea that law enforcement could get a search warrant for a whole cell tower.

I have actually never heard of that and it would be news to me as well. Maybe that's why they need federal help for something like that. But I really am not sure

They've been doing it for years. It's how they caught our nieces murders, 15+ years ago.

I'm surprised they got a warrant. Read up on STINGRAYS and you'll find most agencies just use them regardless.

it's along story , other than 1 of the killers had been caught and the "ring leaders" family member rolled over on him, to avoid being included as an accomplice . They wanted this guy sooner than later.

The problem with not getting a warrant is the admissibility of the evidence. Warrants are not that difficult to obtain if you know what you are doing.

I used to use a Triggerfish years ago. The temptation to turn on voice was there. The desire to make good cases, keep my job, and stay out of jail, were pretty good incentives to do thing the right way.

Cell tower information. This is transactional data that indicates which phones are calling at what time and relative direction and distance the phone is from the specified tower. Orders can be written for multiple towers to recreate routes traveled and locations where the phone was stationary as well as associated numbers being called or making calls in order to build networks of associates.

These are fairly standard affidavits that have been written by LE to support investigations for about 20 years now.

Cell phones are basically complicated computer controlled duplex radios. Add some GPS mojo and Google Earth to make some very impressive courtroom presentation. Even without audio (court ordered wire tap) this type of information can be very convincing to judges, prosecutors, and juries.

Be safe.

I am sick of reading these stories but I don't know what I can do.
