Sorry to be so flippant, but you know how to click links, right? http://www.nyclu.org/files/20150331-ComplaintInfoReports-000... Most incidents read like, "ASSIST TOWN OF HAMBURG POLICE WITH CELL TRACKING REGARDING OUTBACK ROBBERY ON 09/26/2011, MCKINLEY PKWY, HAMBURG, NY" Some others are even more vague: "ASSISTING NYS POLICE, HOMOCIDE[sic]"

These give the impression that the use is targeted and for a limited time, but of course one can never be sure. I'd like to know:

* For how long was the device used in each incident?

* How was it deployed?

* How many other cellular devices were picked up?

* What happened to the irrelevant data collected?
