Why are these phones "hard to trace"? I thought all cellphones had a tracer in them???

It's easy to trace a cell phone. It's hard to watch all cell phones.

The absence of an ownership paper trail makes it harder to know where to look in real time. It also complicates after-the-fact forensics. You can trace the phone to where someone, someone unknown, bought it for cash, and then what?
