In article , says...
Years ago, when cell calls could be heard on
scanners without modifications etc .. back before
there were CHEAP cellphone talk time plans ...
when people would say, " I will call you when I
get to the office or home, I am on my
$$cellphone$$." I heard a man on his cell, calling
a pay for phone sex number ... I thought to myself
.. As expensive as this call must be, he could
have hired a hooker ..

Is this the wrong type of post to make here ??
Sorry if I offended anyone.

Being that we both worked in law enforcement at the time we were able to
buy a device that attached to a programmable receiver on the one side,
and a computer on the other.

The software allowed you to follow calls by number, by cell site and
numerous other options.

You wouldn't believe how easy it was to pick off the criminal behavior.
Truly stupid criminals.

Considering cellular monitoring is a felony in the U.S. Don't be so sure
you can protect the identity of your informants. Especially under the new
Patriot Act, in the name of homeland security.

I'm a freelance journalist doing an article on cel phone spy culture
and would love to talk to some people who have done this with some
frequency. I can quote anonymously and am not looking to do a hatchet
job. Just wanting to learn more about it.

Anyone willing to talk can email me @

But in Canada the RCMP when asked about it say what where, how come, they
don't really care two bits.

Right....and give the special interest groups another reason to
pressure Congress to pass additional restrictive legislation on
citizens. Shut up!

It should be of interesting note to know that posts , nearly
identical to this original post by " supposed " journalists ..were
commonly seen on the cellular hacking NGs back in the 92 - 94 era.

they were fairly common and numerous. turned out they were most
often made by FBI personnel ( + possibly other government
agencies ) and initially the information made it's way into reports
used by the government and private manufactures to craft / draft
the super strict killer FCC EE3 cellular legislation and resultant
rule making. this rule making basically resulted in the death of
all USA cellular hacking and was used in most of the
anti-eavesdropping legislation too. it was claimed , in
about '94 , that the same information gained was used by the feds to
prosecute a number of people that supplied information to the
posters of the requests. people thought they were protected by
confidential reporter acts , when in reality they were actually
inter reacting directly with federal law enforcement people and THOSE
people are NOT required , by law , to be truthful with you. lieing
such as claiming to be journalists is not illegal for law enforcement
operatives.


interesting , slightly different in these posts is that the person is
seeking information strictly on ( illegal ) eavesdropping and
not the so called " hacking " like posts of the earlier era.
this , probably because " they " know that basic cellular
hacking is dead and that only " eavesdropping " could remain.

dunno what anyone , even law enforcement people , could expect to gain
by this old ploy / exploit , anymore. cellular hacking is dead and
analog cellular eavesdropping is experiencing the death rattle.
still .......... it's good to remember the historic relationships and
keep that in mind , nowadays. might also be some homeland
defense people with too much time on their hands too.


k..........


p.s. ....check out that email addy name .... " toplocker "
ah ah ah aha ha ahaa
