> It looks like nothing stops you from purchasing an encrypted phone on the second-hand market... For reference, the ability to do this hinges on the Definition of "Sold in California" which is defined in -uh- CA Code 22761.(a).4 which reads: '(4) "Sold in California," or any variation thereof, means that the smartphone is sold at retail from a location within the state, or the smartphone is sold and shipped to an end-use consumer at an address within the state. "Sold in California" does not include a smartphone that is resold in the state on the secondhand market or that is consigned and held as collateral on a loan.'
