As described in Stephen Hunter's latest thriller G-Man, the Stingray device is a Gen 7 femtocell and uses NSA intercept software to not only listen to your encrypted conversations but can target a specific phone and listen through the mic. I think the Marshall's use these to try and see if their target is awake or not when making an arrest.
...and Bytor, basic tradecraft is that the battery has to be removed from the tracking device/phone in order for it to be deactivated not just turned off.
