Tiny bills like these get proposed by legislators all the time. Most don't pass. Just because this is a technology bill doesn't mean that it will – it's far too nanny-state and superfluous control to be remotely considered vs other priorities California has at this time.
Although Feinstein DOES seem to be doing a lot of nannying and superfluous things lately.
- wpietri 13y agoDo you have some evidence that this won't get considered? It looks to me like an easy political win. Smartphones are getting stolen a lot. They are popular. They are often the most expensive thing a person caries, so people are protective. Being able to say, "Hey, we're doing something about a theft that could happen to you," seems like something that would give the average voter warm fuzzies.
