SIM-card registration

[Gilrandir]

What would be the point of that? To use any of these devices for criminal activities, they usually need to be connected to a landline or a wireless network via SIM card. By tracking these access points, you cover your bases mostly. Knowing the owner of an offline device is relatively useless unless you are in the business of advertising.

Mobile phones are just another device brought in by the advent of technologies. I don't see the purpose of registering them more than registering TV sets or mixers. If you believe that registration is useful in attempts to curb crime - well, then let's register everything that can be used to commit crimes. One can kill with a hair dryer - why not register them all? If registration is helpful in tracking people - why there should ever be a need to track people if they don't want to? We again come to the privacy issue.
