Right, that is highly probable and the fact that it's likely to happen will drive nefarious operators to illegally change IMSI numbers,etc., that is, if it's not already happening on a grand scale. This could lead to a technology war between law enforcement and crooks where the main victims will be innocent people.
The bigger and more important issues are that (a) our police forces are becoming more militaristic and are acting more like invading armies without themselves conforming to the law not to mention the fact that they are also acting underhandedly and by stealth (which leads the citizenry to distrust them), and (b) the issue of citizens' right to privacy has not been properly or adequately addressed by legislators.
The fact that our governments have precious little oversight of and exercise even less control over their various agencies is also of great concern.

I fear the same. This research will drive stingray to be more stealth.
