That said, this is the argument that gun-owning cowards use, so does it fall under the “How do we stop this happening, says only country in the world where this happens regularly” category?
You’re talking about outlawing the equivalent of a lock picking set. This tool is used by legitimate security researchers and professional penetration testers all the time. Making this type of hardware less accessible only hurts.
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 👌

Probably a wise move to nip it in the bud
Maybe, but guns are a very different problem.
A toddler won’t kill their sibling with this by accident.
Insane take.

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.
