South Carolina Police Grab Innocent Cell User’s Data Through ‘Tower Dump’Mikael Thalen, Infowars.com, November 28, 2013 Sheriffs in Richland County, South Carolina are currently defending the use of a controversial investigation method that grants them access to thousands of cell phone user’s data. The technique, known as a “Tower Dump,” allows law enforcement to request all call, text and data transmissions from any specific time period from a cell tower’s provider. Search warrants obtained by WLTX News uncovered Richland County Sheriffs use of the technique during several cases including a 2011 vehicle break-in outside a sheriff’s home. Although police must obtain and present a search warrant to cell providers in order to access the data, the amount of information gathered, especially on those not suspected of a crime, presents a clear constitutional violation. www.infowars.com/south-carolina-police-grab-innocent-cell-users-data-through-tower-dump/
