Below collection of pictures and assumptions are purely based on monitoring demonstrations, especially the ones of PEGIDA (both sides) in Germany. Means: Don't take anything for granted, we could be riding a dead horse here. But we found it very strange that the casual-looking cars we discovered have so many antennas (which were also hidden under suitcases or similar on the roof in a few cases) and are always being used along the paths where demonstrators march. We don't think that these cars are used to assure communication of police during the demonstrations, but rather to find out who participated in them and spy on those people.

This specific MITM attack was [patented](https://spideroak.com/share/IFEU2U2JINCA/GitHub/home/SecUpwN/SpiderOak/PAPERS/Technical/%5BGER%5D-Eavesdropping_Method_Patent.pdf) and first commercialized by Rohde & Schwarz in 2003, although it would be hard to maintain such a patent, since in reality it is just a modified cell tower with a malicious operator. On 24 January 2012, the Court of Appeal of England and Wales held that the patent is [invalid for obviousness](https://spideroak.com/share/IFEU2U2JINCA/GitHub/home/SecUpwN/SpiderOak/PAPERS/Technical/%5BENG%5D-Judgment_Invalid_R%26S_Patent.pdf). But ever since it was first invented, the technology has been used and "improved" by many different companies around the world. Other manufacturers (like Anite) prefer to refer to this spying and tracking equipment in glossy brochures using cozy marketing words like "[Subscriber Trackers](https://spideroak.com/share/IFEU2U2JINCA/GitHub/home/SecUpwN/SpiderOak/PAPERS/SysInfos/%5BENG%5D-Triton_Surveillance_Brochure.pdf)". IMSI-Catcher manufacturers are abusing your mind by disguising their spying products as "life saving equipment". Their real purpose will always be surveillance and even [killing people](https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/02/10/the-nsas-secret-role/).
