Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts::The Canadian government plans to ban the Flipper Zero and similar devices after tagging them as tools thieves can use to steal cars.
A single-board computer, radio modules, and the appropriate software. Trivial for someone with the technical knowledge. The only thing that made the flipper unique is that it comes pre-packaged.
The uniformity is also nice. Lots of tutorials targetting it
Any determined thief will just build their own, or one guy will do it and sell to all the thieves, this is the wrong solution.
