It's been tested at actual protests FYI. It works.
Use your imagination what that means you can do when you find one.
They've gone on record that they have not found anything at any protests so I'm not sure what you mean by "tested".
Theres a whole blog post about it.
"So far Rayhunter has not turned up any evidence of cell-site simulators being used to spy on protests in the US — though we have found them in use elsewhere."
The article does point out that there are cheaper and easier options available that might be of greater concern.
