Cell Phones and Privacy

Legitimate reasons for using prepaid cell phones:

1. Younger Kids who only need a phone for basic communication with parents.
2. Can't afford a 2-year wireless contract.
3. Lost too many expensive phones (Prepaid phones are more easily replaced.)

I do not think that prepaid cell phones should be banned. Banning an item because a select few individuals that use it for criminal activity is absurd. The privacy is protected, but that isn't necessarily why everyone who uses a prepaid phone, has one. The reasons above are just a few of the many legitimate reasons for owning a prepaid wireless phone.
