British firm Cobham provides spy gear to US Law Enforcement

"A confidential, 120-page catalogue of spy equipment, originating from British defense firm Cobham and circulated to U.S. law enforcement, touts gear that can intercept wireless calls and text messages, locate people via their mobile phones, and jam cellular communications in a particular area.

The catalogue was obtained by The Intercept as part of a large trove of documents originating within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, where spokesperson Molly Best confirmed Cobham wares have been purchased but did not provide further information. The document provides a rare look at the wide range of electronic surveillance tactics used by police and militaries in the U.S. and abroad, offering equipment ranging from black boxes that can monitor an entire town’s cellular signals to microphones hidden in lighters and cameras hidden in trashcans. Markings date it to 2014."

Seriously read that article.  It's scary that US Law Enforcement agencies can obtain those technologies, and not only do we NOT know they have them, but the fact that many of these technologies are used without obtaining a warrant.

How many other violations besides the MANDATORY HOME INSPECTIONS, asking about your sex life, asking if you own firearms and a whole host of other things that the .GOV has NO right nor reason to know.
