I'm hoping that these devices don't interfere with 911 calls. The Enhanced 911 service uses GPS data from the cellphone (if available) and cell-tower triangulation to locate the caller. If the Stingray device is acting like a tower, and someone calls 911, wouldn't an incorrect (or no) location be reported?

On the other hand, if an accident does occur, the police are already nearby. :P
