IMSI-catchers have been dispersed across the country for the purpose of enhancing national security. IMSI-catchers are utilized by law enforcement authorities for the purpose of researching criminal histories and conducting investigations. IMSI-catchers are used to track location using GPS and to gather all data including cell phone information (phone number, call durations, and caller IDs, etc.). In addition, IMSI-catchers are used to track location using WiFi. Law enforcement authorities are able to detect mobile traffic on the network with the assistance of an IMSI-catcher, allowing them to target mobile traffic for the purposes of interception and analysis.
IMSI-catchers are utilized by governments and intelligence services, and their usage is strictly regulated in some countries due to concerns regarding individuals' right to privacy in connection with the use of these devices. For example, in 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union reported that 72 law enforcement departments in 24 states have StingRay technology. StingRay is an IMSI-catcher that is made by Harris Corporation. It is utilized by a variety of law enforcement and state government agencies in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to track the information of users.
