    Why does it matter about covering your purchasing tracks? I presume most stalkers believe their targets won’t find the device. If it was found, how are you going to easily know what it is and then identify the owner? AirTags don’t let you cover any tracks at all. A GPS tracker is easy to buy, without any nefarious connections.

      As per the article, a good lawyer can raise sufficient reasonable doubt about Airtags to acquit their client. You may have bought five and "accidentally" lost one. However, it is harder to claim plausible deniability when you purchase a GPS tracker. Of course you can buy GPS trackers everywhere, however, you will leave an evidence trail that is easy for the police to find. Most GPS trackers on Amazon are also much larger in size and more difficult to conceal.

        Yes the less specialized something is the harder it is to prove what the intended use case was. I know guns kill way more people each year than baseball bats, but there were a few people killed with baseball bats last year. It's way easier to buy a baseball bat without leaving evidence, plus it's much easier to claim plausible deniability if you get caught with one, so let's regulate baseball bats.
