I wonder if the mobile cell tower they just put up outside of att park is a stingray, or a valid mobile tower

Given the cooperation between telcos and law enforcement, is there much difference?

There was temporary cell service at Burning Man for the first time this year, supposedly to "support" law enforcement. I guess you could interpret that in two different ways...

I took a couple pics looking in from the door - I cant see anything out of the ordinary WRT "stingray" labeled equipment... They have a fence around the thing.
