Cell Phones and Privacy

Prepaid cell phones. Thats what many cell phone companies and governments around the world are in the process of banning. Should they stay legal? Or should they be banned in order to lower crime rates? Many criminals around the globe are using prepaid contracts to commit crimes and avoid law enforcement agencies. Since there is no name on file and no records of calls, criminals can affectively steer clear of the law and remain on the run. Many argue that it is the consumer's right to remain anonymous, while others believe that prepaid cell phones should be banned all together. I firmly believe that prepaid cell phones should be registered with the government to prevent crime. If the criminal has a registered phone, he/she will think twice before committing another crime. I believe that privacy is a privilege not a right when it comes to this.
