"They register their access with the cell network, so...you can't tell which calls they're tapping necessarily, but you know when one's been active in the area, and which one's been active so you can kind of keep track of them. What we really want isn't a Stingray of our own, but the little chip from someone ELSE'S Stingray. Then when we go on to monitor calls, it looks like THAT machine's on the network, and the judge is all, 'Why was this machine monitoring calls,' and the cops are all 'but it wasn't, it was in the AV room over here' and the cellphone people are all, 'nope, we have records lol...'"She actually pronounced 'lol' was if it was a word in this narrative."...and meanwhile, the investigation is completely deadlocked, and the FCC thinks the cops are obstructing justice, and the cops think the FCC is on a witch hunt and the cellphone company doesn't really CARE, they just want their cut, and the IMPORTANT PART is that eventually either the whole crew of investigators has to be replaced and the new team has to start over again...hah! Good luck! ...or they just say 'screw it, it's been years now, lets just throw this on the unsolved pile and get on with our lives.'"She sighs. "So yeah. No real point in just buying one. Totally defeats the purpose."After a moment she spied movement from the store and looked over that way."Oh hey. Uh...start the engine. Almost showtime."[sblock=*]I am going to make a Dex roll...consider it an untrained Sleight of Hand perhaps?...to see if she can slyly swap her cellphone with Marks' before he grabs it. Like, she switches which hands the phones are in right after she finishes her call, when the van pulls out and he's presumably a bit distracted. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> [roll0] When/if he realizes it, she'll sheepishly hand him his own phone without further shenanigans. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
