Great idea....
But how do you do it? Like any law, enforcement is not the issue. The issue is providing proof that the law has been broken. It's great to propose making something illegal, and assigning a penalty to go with it. People with the knowledge to change the identifying numbers on a device may very well also be smart enough to cover their tracks. If you cannot prove the device is stolen, how do you prove it's been tampered with?

You assume that laws like this are actually intended to fix anything and aren't just political posturing to make it look like congress actually does anything.

No, I make no assumptions. I question the mechanics of the law in an attempt to make people think about it instead of applauding the notion. Truth be told, I'm certain that this is nothing more than political posturing by Mr. Schumer during an election year, whether or not he actually has to defend his senate seat. We already know it won't fix anything, especially those of us that read and comment on here. Mr. Schumer is a career politician, not a techie. He almost certainly has no idea how people go about breaking the law that he is proposing and would have no idea how to prove any violations.

Then I applaud you, sir, and wish you the best of luck in spreading awareness. God knows this country could use a little more of it.

Thank you. I try when I can take the time. It's not easy to rally the public, but I live by a very simple motto, which I attribute to V "people should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of their people."

Good thing they don't have that down her in SLV I buy phones from everywhere and from any one as long it is a GSM phone fix it or clean it up a little bit and resale it.
But I what I don't get is isn't better just to pay for insurance once a month I reported over 8 phones ¨stolen¨ to the company all they say is. OK sir which phone do you want now? They don't care because they know that phone will work with their network and as long people pays the bill or just but prepaid cards they are not losing.
so if your going to get like an Iphone or any expensive phone just get insurance for it
