cellular telephone

In 1989, as illegal drug sales spiked, Maryland passed a law making it illegal for students to take pagers and devices then known as “cellular telephones” to school.

But that attempt yielded only “a limited extraction of the data from the cellular telephone due to a lock that required a passcode,” it said.

“These documents were not official and did not provide Pena with permission to obtain cellular telephone location data,” the indictment charges.

In the last hours, diplomats were destroying sensitive files, trashing laptops and disabling cellular telephones.

The device used to track vehicles to some of the homes that the defendants burglarized was created from magnets and cellular telephones, according to the criminal complaint.
