"When the feds move in to confiscate files, it’s sure to raise more than a few eyebrows. But when the American Civil Liberties Union made a routine records request about a surveillance tool known as “StingRay,” it triggered a totally unexpected response.
The United States Marshals Service seized the documents before police could release them.
The records request was made in Sarasota, Florida, in May for information detailing police usage of the controversial surveillance system, according to Wired. But just before the ACLU could meet with the police detectives last week, the marshals blocked the release of the records, claiming they were federal property."
