The search warrant is the key to obtaining the cell phone records. Cell phone records, especially with cell tower information, are the property of the carrier, not the customer. Most of the time, carriers will not release the call detail records without a proper legal demand, even with the consent of the customer. In June, 2018, the US Supreme Court ruled the police need warrants to obtain location information for cell phones in the case Carpenter v. United States. As of this writing, the case is still too new to know the impact on law enforcement, but I've always recommended using a search warrant rather than a subpoena.
In this post we will cover the following:
- Affidavit
- Order or warrant
- AT&T
- Sprint
- T-Mobile
- Verizon
Cell phone record search warrants are like any other search warrant. They have two parts: the affidavit of probable cause, and the order or warrant.
AFFIDAVIT
The affidavit for probable cause for a search warrant for cell phone records must have the same components of any other search warrant. It must contain the elements of a crime, show probable cause to believe this crime was committed, show the involvement of the phone number for which we are requesting information, and specifically identify all the information we would like from the carrier and why it is valuable.
Tell the story. Tell the known facts about how the crime occurred. Make sure to include the elements of the crime even if the suspect in unknown. For example, in Indiana, the elements of murder state that a person knowingly or intentionally kills another human being. If we state in the affidavit that the police arrived to find the victim suffering from a gunshot wound, from which he later died, and there was no evidence that the wound was self-inflicted, we have met the elements of murder even though we haven't identified a suspect.
Tie the phone number to the case. Tying the phone number to the case may be as simple as identifying the victim's phone number. We would certainly like to know the phone numbers associated with the last calls and text messages before the victim died. Later in the investigation, we may want to get search warrants for these numbers. A judge will usually find probable cause since these were the last numbers to communicate with the victim's phone before he died.
List the location to be searched. Imagenomic professional plugin suite crack. The location to be searched is simply the carrier. It would look something like 'The records of the Sprint Corporation.'
List what we would like to obtain from the carrier. The information we would like to obtain will vary depending on the phone company. For example, different companies provide cell site locations for different types of communication. Verizon provides cell sites for voice only, Sprint provides cell sites for voice and data, T-Mobile provides cell sites for voice and text, and AT&T provides cell sites for all three. It doesn't hurt to request cell site locations for text messages from Verizon, but we won't get it. We will go into what to ask from each carrier in detail later in this book.
Justify why we want the information. We need to tell why we think the information would be valuable to the investigation and what we hope to learn. For example, if we are requesting the records for a known suspect, the cell tower information would likely put the phone in the area of the crime scene.
ORDER OR WARRANT
The order or warrant is composed of two parts: the header and the body. The format of the warrant may vary across jurisdictions, but the header will usually include some way of identifying the case, the phone number and time-frame and time zone to be searched, and the location for the search. The body will include information specific to the carriers.
The header format may vary by jurisdiction, but it should include the following information. There should be some way of identifying the case. We can use the name of the user of the phone, or 'Unknown,' if we don't know the user. State the phone number. Identify the location to be searched, which will usually read, 'Located at,' and the name of the phone company. Note the timeframe for the search and the time zone. The timezone is important because AT&T and T-Mobile provide the times in their records in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). UTC is either four or five hours ahead of Eastern time, depending on daylight savings time. If we mention only the dates and don't mention the time zone, we may lose four or five hours at the end of our records because the carrier would provide the dates based on UTC. We may lose even more records for Pacific time which is seven or eight hours behind UTC.
The body should include the language 'Having found probable cause for the issuance of this search warrant.' Federal criminal code 18 USC § 2703 requires the carriers to provide the phone records upon proper legal demand showing 'specific and articulable facts.' Any search warrant will contain probable cause, which is a higher threshold than specific and articulable facts, but the phone companies won't necessarily receive a copy of the probable cause affidavit. The attorneys for the phone companies may have instructed the analysts not to release the records without probable cause, or at least proof of an affidavit supporting the warrant. Some phone companies release information with subpoenas, and subpoenas don't always require a supporting affidavit. Including the language 'Having found probable cause for the issuance of this search warrant' will make it clear to the phone companies that the judge has seen the specific and articulable facts supporting the warrant. I had a few carriers refuse my search warrants until I started using this language.
Make sure that the requested information is the same as the information listed in the affidavit. The affidavit supports and justifies the warrant. We can't put information in the warrant unless we first list and justify it in the affidavit.
Request that the carrier preserve the records. Our ultimate goal is to present this information in court if the case makes it to trial. Most jurisdictions will require certification of the records. We may receive the records in digital format through email or download. Receiving the records this way is fine for the investigation, but for the courts to admit the records in some jurisdictions, we need a CD containing the records signed by the analyst along with an affidavit of custodian of records. A detective managing many cases with phone records may not have time to chase down the certification of every set of records. Only a small percentage of records will ever make it into court, and at the time of the warrant, it is impossible to predict whether or not the records will be valuable. Obtaining the certification may fall upon the prosecutor or district attorney as he or she prepares for trial. Including the request for preservation of the records in the warrant will make sure the records are available for reproduction and certification in preparation for trial.
Request the records in digital format. Carriers tend to provide records in reams of printed paper if we don't specifically request the records in digital format. Carriers tend to send paper records if we are asking for a short time period where the printed records are small enough to put in an envelope. Digital records are much easier and faster to analyze. We could analyze the printed records, but it would take a great deal of time, with a lot of highlighting, notes, and collation.
Each company requires slightly different language. We'll go through the language for the four major phone companies with national coverage: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Most phones run on one of these four networks. For example, Boost and Virgin run on the Sprint network, Cricket runs on AT&T, and TracFone uses different networks in different areas. These smaller networks are Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO). The communication records reside in the records of the major carriers while the subscriber and account information resides in the records of the MVNO. In the case when we know the phone is an MVNO phone, we should mention both the MVNO and the major carrier in the warrant. Most of the time, however, our initial search of the phone number will reveal only the major carrier, and the records we receive from the major carrier will instruct us to go to the MVNO for the subscriber information. That would require a second warrant.
There are also smaller providers that own cell sites. An example of this is Bluegrass Wireless, which owns cell sites in the Bowling Green, KY area. When a Bluegrass Wireless phone roams away from its network, it usually uses the Verizon or Sprint networks.

Q: How can identify my Snap on tool??
A: A: The first step is no figure out what it is and when it was made,
- There is likely a date stamp – the key is here.
- There is a part number that can be indexed. 'Catalog' search function does this.
In the search function, you may need to play around with dashes, 207-IMF-Y is the same as 207IMFY, 207-IMFY or 207IM-FY. Snap on was not consistent in the use of dashes. Also, No 7 is the same as 7 is the same as No-7. The word No is used at time and not at other times
Currently all Automotive Catalogs from the first to 1978 are indexed and available. This will tell you what it is and if it was made or was available before 1978. Special Catalogs (Industrial, Rairoad, Aircraft) are not yet indexed
Q: What is my tool worth?
A: Obviously this depends on what somebody is willing to pay for it. Ebay, Craigslist, and Swap Meets are the common sales places.
Determining value is normally done this way
Common Tools: If your tool is one of many copies, there are sales all around. Watching these sales, and buying over a period of years, I have a feel for these. You can get the same feel I have by finding examples and noting the prices. There are variations over time.
Desirable Tools: If your tool is 'desired' it has some value. Rarity alone does not mean a tool is valuable. Generally, the tools that still have a function (sockets, ratchets and wrenches) have a value. Generally tools in sets are more desired than a single tool. So an old 1950s socket set has value, a 1950 headlight beam focus tool does not. A Wrench that is a part of a common set is more valued that a special wrench for a sensor, or a specific car.
Rare Desirable Tools: This is what everybody hopes to find. The more valuable Snap on tools are pre WWII. World War Two flooded the market with tools. Even today, WWII era tools are common and not highly valued. Tools from the 1950s and 1960 often demand better prices. If there are very few examples and people want those few examples – that drives up value. Before WWII, and even more so, in the early 1920s Snap on was a very small company and made few tools. These have the most promise of collector value.
Large Socket Sets: These are the 5/8 inch drive, the 7/8 inch drive, the ¾, 1, 1 & ½ drive. These are a little different that the smaller socket sets common in garages. These were industrial and heavy duty sets. The 5/8 and 7/8 are orphans. They have a niche collector market, and not much else. The ¾, 1 and 1 & ½ inch drives are still used. The Orphan sizes are worth a $70 and up for the sets. I have purchased numerous sets for $100-200 is great shape – complete and extensive. The sets in sizes still in use can be resold into industrial use (purchased to use, not to collect). The buyers tend to be companies and tend to compare prices to new sets. These can bring $300- $2500 for nice sets.
Tool Boxes: There are 2 types: the small set boxes and the larger Chests and Roll Cabs. The small set boxes often are for socket sets. The early ones from the 1920 and 30s are often valued. The puller, reamer, and special set boxes are generally less valued that the socket set boxes. Plastic boxes are not – in my opinion – collector's targets. On the Chests and Roll Cabs – The first 1920s examples have value, the K-60 is very desired because of its Art Deco curves. Other than these, the boxes are generally used for tool storage and not collected. There is a simple reason for this – they take space and they are heavy. So one can not sell and ship across the country – it costs too much. Once you have one, getting number 2, 3, 4 …10 takes a lot of space. Most people can find utility and space for one, or two sets, but 10 roll cabs? Not likely. So the market is local and it is in the $200 - $1000 range, with most roll cabs or stationary chests selling for $300 or $400.
Catalogs: Early catalogs are very pricey. Basically the price decreases as the catalog gets newer. Rare and odd ball catalogs from the 1920s and 1930s may have some real value, the 1940s and 1950s are ranging in the $60 area. A catalog for the 1960s or 1970s maybe $10-$24. Newer catalogs are very common. They can be worth $5 or $10.

Q: What was the Guarantee for antique Snap-on?
A: It changed, but it was basically one year until 1931. Then is changed and basically became a life time guarantee, with 3 years of exceptions: 1943, 1944 and 1945 where there was no guarantee. In this web site, under resources - all the guarantee statments are listed through WWII. The full answer is here
Q: Will you buy it?
A: This is boiled down from the bulk of the emails I receive. If it is old and affordable and I can transport it reasonably - Yes I will buy it. You can also sell tools to others and yes - I will help you do that. The chances are very good that I already have one, so it is difficult to get me excited about common tools. But, there is no cost in asking.
Q: What about condision and owner's marks?
A: This is a tricky question. I will often give an opinion. Send me your photos and what you know about the tool (Part numbers and condition are important). There are a few issues.
If it is a common tool –
Perfect? – The chrome is all there, the wear is near zero, the tool is bright, it is in the original box– It is worth a lot more
Good? – The chrome is mostly there, it has wear, but still has a lot of life in it, it is rust free and free of any owner's market – it would bring an average price
OK (AKA Fair)?– The chrome is weak, it has wear, it has owner's markets, it may have a little rust – probably below average price
Poor? - The chrome is gone, it is rusty – it is dinged up – sorry – it has little value. For a collector, the whole 'Guaranty' argument basically means finding a damaged worn out tool you don't want and exchanging it for a modern tool you don't want – Not really worth the time
The highest value tool? – If your tools have a family or personal history. If they have an interesting story – That story and collection to you is invaluable. It is often lost if they are sold – Keep them and give them to your kids. There is no higher value than having that personal history.
Rare Tools? – Generally the ideas about condition are the same. The pricing level changes, but a very rare, totally worn out tool, is still worth nearly nothing

Incomplete and hurt tool? – If it is a puller set and it is missing parts, unless those parts are very easy to find (they rarely are) the tool's value is dramatically diminished. It is nearly completely compromised.
Q: Can I collect on a Snap on guarantee for an old tool?
Snap On Tool Serial Number Lookup
A: Possibly, but you are likely to be disappointed. The guarantees change over time. The original guarantees were for one year. The date stamps were actually stamped at the point of purchase to record this first year. This means there is some confusion in the date codes – a late date code on an early tool may just mean it sat in stock for a period of time. During WWII the guarantee changed again. WWII tools generally do not carry any guarantee at all. If you have a guarantee and it is valid, but the tool is obsolete (most 40 + year old tools are) there is no way to replace the tool for the same tool – that tool does not exist any longer. You might get a modern tool (kind of defeats the purpose) or you might ask for a refund. A refund at a 1932 pricing level is not worth much. So by and large – the guarantee is not very useful The full answer is here.
Q: Where can I get replacement keys and locks for my tool box?
A:
Most of the locks were made by Fort, now CompX Fort http://compx.com/fort.html.
Q: Why uses a single broached socket or a double broached socket?
A: The reason to use a single broached socket is a grip along a longer edge. This is particularly important in undersized or misshaped bolt heads. With good, well sized and machined bolt heads a double broached socket will more easily slip on the has twice the angles where it will slip on the bolt.
Q: Just a question from an inquisitive 18 year old..Can you please tell me the difference between Snap on and blue point?
I've just started collecting old or different Snap on tools I recently found a 1943 1/2 in drive ratchet and a ferret F-9 ext. Can you please tell me the difference between Snap on and blue point?
A: Great Question
And very likely – not such a great answer.
In 1920 Snap on had a very small number of tools (They started with 15 tools and 3 guys) – They could sell them, but the national distributors did not want to take them on. So they started selling through representative instead. Basically the establishment snubbed them, so they went out and found people to sell them – they built their own sales network. In the end this resulted in the Snap on truck you see everywhere (it took a couple of steps).
Just to make sure I complete the truck story. There were no trucks early on. They took orders and then made them. In WWII there were shortages of everything and they switched from a made to order scheme to – They made as much as they could – gave it to the sales people who started hauling the inventory around (the Snap on 'truck') and sold until they ran out.
Early – when they built their own sales network, the representatives wanted more selection and offering than Snap on could offer. So Snap on bought tools and relabeled them. You guessed it – Blue Point. The old pliers were bought and relabeled from 'Forged Steel Corporation' in Pennsylvania; the wrenches came from Milwaukee Tool and Forge (MTF) and likely several other manufacturers. The original name was lifted from the wrenches – 'Blue Points' and you can see this name on the early wrenches.
Snap on grows in several ways: They sold their products and other people's products, and they bought their suppliers. Over the years the Blue point line has just become a Snap on brand. They would buy there source and fold it into their factories. There are many many examples. Sometimes you see tools marked 'Blue Point' as an OEM product, sometimes a cheaper line, sometimes a test product and other times – just the same as the Snap on name. So today – it is (at least for me) confused.
Blue point means different things over time. For a collector – Blue point or Blue Points can mean a rarer and more desirable early tool. Today, I would prefer Snap on. I don't think there is a modern case where Blue point means higher quality than Snap on. The opposite is sometimes true (Today Blue Point wrenches are cheaper and have less finish work in them)
Q: Restoring Tool Boxes?
A: Restoring the box is a mixed bag. It is certainly possible to restore or renew, but it is likely to lower its value. If it is in pretty good shape now, oil the rust. That will turn it brown and it stops the rust.
If the rust is too much then it may be better to restore it. If you do want to restore it there are two or three ideas
- You can sand blast, solvent dip or chemically strip the box. All of these are basically labor. The cost is in hours and you could do it yourself or hire it out. A furniture refinisher or an auto body guy both has the expertise to do it.
- After it is stripped; you can knock the big dents out and use automotive body filler to smooth out the small ones. A lot of people don't bother with the filler because it is a toolbox and the tools scratch it anyway. Most of the inside dents are from tools (and reoccur)
- Before you strip it – match the color. The original paint is an acrylic that you can likely get. Try Automotive paint. Polyurethanes or other chemistries that are more durable, look better and are easier to apply. Match the color, and pick your paint. I like Rustoleum.
- You might want to consider powder coating. It is tougher, and looks better longer. It is easy to do but requires equipment. Different prices in different shops ranging from $50 to several hundreds dollars. Like airline fairs – shop around. It may also cost you so much, resale would be hard

Q: What about collection torque wrenches?
Snap On Serial Number Lookup
A: Generally mechanical torque meters are obsolete. They have some limited collector value, but these are generally not worth a lot.
One can use the search function in the catalog section and quicker find your Torque Wrench. Different Torque Wrenches has different purposes – A lot of different purposes. Because of the range of these variations and the unique task they were designed to preform – it is difficult to collect all of them, difficult to collect the most popular or the most useful. It is a huge mass of minor variations over a 60 year period.
Most are worth $40-100
There are a huge number of them out there, They were not really for the shade tree mechanic, but machine shops (engine and transmission rebuilders, machine builders like railroads, ship yards, factories) . As such, they were used up, thrown out, traded in and abused.
