[quote=Ars Technica]Following revised policies from other federal law enforcement agencies, the Internal Revenue Service now says it will require the use of a warrant when deploying a stingray, also known as a cell-site simulator.

In a new letter to an Oregon senator, IRS Director John Koskinen wrote that the stingray has only been used as part of 11 grand jury investigations to track 37 phones. The IRS stingray has also been used to assist with four other non-IRS investigations both at the federal and the state level. According to the document, the IRS first obtained its stingray in October 2011, and it's attempting to procure a second.[/quote]

The IRS shouldn't have access to this technology. If they feel the need to "spy" on someone, then they should go through the appropriate legal systems.
