Is it illegal or unconstitutional for a law enforcement agency to watch a road intersection for criminal activity because a law abiding citizen might walk through the intersection?

Nope. But it is illegal as hell to detail search every car and person going through that intersection, just to see what you might find.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Where in that do you see authority to search, save and catalogue the most personal data of everyone who is in range? That’s utterly un-American. If all of your email, texts, search histories and photos isn’t your “papers and effects”, then what the would be?

I guess you missed the part of the article where they: 1) spoof your carrier's signal to force your phone to connect to it; 2) they can jam your phone or disconnect your call; and most egregiously 3) where they can steal your photos or downloads from your phone.

There needs to be laws in place protecting us against this obvious government overreach.
