Assignment 3B- Cell Phones & Privacy

Many people use prepaid cell phones for legitimate reasons like if they did not have enough money to buy a whole plan. I don’t think that prepaid cell phones should be banned because when phone booths were still around, no one saw that as a threat and criminals could have used those for the same purpose.  Yet, I think it would be fine if prepaid cell phones were controlled by laws.  If users had to register the cell phone so they can be tracked it would not really be diminishing their right to privacy in that much of a harmful way.  It IS cutting into their privacy but it is for the good of society. I believe as long as they are still able to obtain the phone by cash and things like that it would be ok (especially for people who are poor or young kids with not a lot of money because they are still able to have a cell phone for emergencies or work).
