WIRED reported that investigators obtained warrants to use cell-site simulators to locate Jerome Richardson, a producer who covered a Minneapolis church protest with Don Lemon. Warrants issued in two jurisdictions on January 30 and 31 were confirmed, but actual deployment of the equipment was not established. Richardson voluntarily appeared two days later. Related EFF material explains that devices mimicking cell towers can collect identifiers from unrelated nearby phones, making their impact beyond the targeted suspect a central concern.
