Ah yes banning the tool will 100% take care of the problem.
Clearly criminals who steal cars will DEFINITELY listen to this new law banning their tools.
We just need to make crime illegal ๐
That's the main issue here, the flipper isn't useful in car theft
I guess it could steal maybe some 90s cars with remote fobs, but I don't think it can do modern keyless entry cars in any useful way.
Not only that, you can easily buy more advanced car stealing tools that are made for this purpose from Chinese websites.
