Cell Phones and Privacy

I think getting rid of prepaid cell phones is a bad idea. One can use this type of cell phone for a child just starting out with a cell phone to limit how much use they have. These types of phones are also helpful if you cannot afford a monthly plan. Not only that, but when traveling to other countries prepaid phones can be used to keep contact with other people in the country without having to run up your phone bill.

They should not be tracked by law enforcement. When buying a prepaid phone, they could maybe implant a system where the company selling the phone checks out the persons criminal record. If there is a warrant out for their arrest, or they may be in trouble with the law, they should not be granted a cell phone. By tracking prepaid phones, it's once again invading privacy American people have the right to.

The government is controlling too much of our privacy in their hands that could easily be linked. BY having prepaid cell phones you have a right to use the phone however you would like. Trust goes a long way.
