You probably already thought this was the case, but Turns Out Police Stingray Spy Tools Can Indeed Record Calls.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California obtained the documents (.pdf) after a protracted legal battle involving a two-year-old public records request. The documents include not only policy guidelines, but also templates for submitting requests to courts to obtain permission to use the technology.
I should probably start using RedPhone with people. I'm already using TextSecure, and you should either be using TextSecure (Android) or Signal (iOS) for your SMS app.

Discussion last night as DC323.org meeting was about getting "Gift Visa Cards" fairly
anonymously to pay for cell phones/minutes, VPN's, etc.. Truck Stops got high marks for
taking cash for a prepaid visa card without collecting any personal info.

I've been wondering if there might not be an opportunity in a resurgent payphone industry.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
