So if you are witness to a federal crime - say protesters in the street getting beaten up or even murdered by fed thugs - and a dozen people record the incident with their smartphones, the federal government could go in and erase the contents of any phone that was within the radius of that incident. And suddenly, the incident becomes hearsay and "never really happened."
They are selling this as protection for you... when it is really protection for THEM and their criminal enterprise.
Just curious, which article and section of the Constitution do they feel gives them the power to do this?
They also used safety as the reason for the GPS chip. We now know it was for monitoring us without a warrant.
Feds don’t like word of future Bunkervilles getting out...?
CLICK...!
Problem solved.
Yeah...they’re doing this to ‘protect us’. We saw how they cut off the cell phone towers near the Bundy ranch...they don’t want the ‘little people’ having any access if things go badly for them..
This all about disrupting commo during incidents like the one in Nevada. Who do these tyrants think they are kidding?

We’re from the government and we’re only here to help you. ROTFL!
Add this to the Constitution. The only laws legislators at all levels that they will allowed to write is laws that protect individual rights against government and other individuals or entities using force to violate those rights. for example property rights: no theft , no trespassing, no vandalism, no confiscation without due process of law. and then no assault, no murder, no stalking, no repeated harrassment verbal or physical. Patents yes , that's property rights. but noting having to do with welfare , or educating people or solving fake crisis like global warming.
Getting so sick of this government.
Again, can't consumers do this now by contacting their telephone providers to have them disable the phones?
Why do the police need to have this capability?
If your credit card is stolen, it's not the police who have your credit card disabled, you do. It should be the same with the cellphones.
What makes cellphones any different than credit cards when it comes to theft and consumer protection?
The answer is nothing. It's not about consumer protection.
It's about protecting the police and federal agencies from having their despotic actions recorded. It's about disabling your cellphone to isolate you, to keep you from gathering for protection.
When the police begin keeping secrets, we have a Secret Police.

someone needs to come up with some back up devices or hacks to bypass this tyranny so we can have evidence of their crimes
If the consumers want this some enterprising cell manufacturer will offer it and outsell the ones that don’t have it. Or not, but no need for gov’t involvement.

Yeesh. Scratch a liberal and find a fascist.
Dude... Just let the industry work this out. There’s already good apps for tracking stolen phones. These same apps let me remotely lock or wipe my phone. Yes, it’s a good idea for anybody with a smart phone to have this capability. But not everything that’s a good idea needs to be required by law. Just as not everything that’s a bad idea must be banned by law.
Just butt out. Smarter people than you are already way ahead of you on this. Take off the jackboots and go on vacation or something. Yeesh.
I only have a dumb phone. I uses it to make and receive phone calls.
I don’t need to surf the web and all of that other good stuff from my cell phone.
My computer handles everything for me—
apparently only democrats have their cellphones lost or stolen.
1. Repeal all laws, regulations, amendments and government to 1900
2. This is supposed to be government “by WE the People” right? ok then any law these governmnent cretins try to pass MUST be approved also by a vote of at least 66% of the registered voters in a county, State or , Country or 66% of the voting population. if a law is SO needed then surely 66% of the people will also go to vote and approve it .
3. any new law must only fit on a page and be easily understood.
Any one with a brain think that the Constitution intended for all the members of ONE party the democrat party to pass a 3000 page bill called Obamacare on Christmas eve without even them reading it? And they did it behind the people's back. no I don't think so
