As a couple commenters on a related Ars article[1] point out, it seems weird that police would drop cases rather than reveal stingray details if it were just a matter of scooping up voice, text, and location data using a fake transmitter. Those things are pretty obvious, so why all the secrecy?

Because if we knew the government spies on us we would take steps to not be spied on and that would help the terrorists which are us.
