Illegal Smartphone Unlocking - Fines and Prison?!. (VIDEO)







"I have deep sympathy for any individual who happens to get jail time for this offense. I am sure that other offenders would not take kindly to smartphone un-lockers.

But seriously: It's embarrassing and unacceptable that we are at the mercy of prosecutorial and judicial discretion** to avoid the implementation of draconian laws that could implicate average Americans in a crime subject to up to a $500,000 fine and up to five years in prison."*

By decree of the Librarian of Congress, it's now illegal for people to unlock their own smartphones, and the maximum penalty is shockingly high. Is this the most ridiculous new rule? How can an unelected bureaucrat impose this? Ana Kasparian and Sam Schacher (PopTrigger) discuss.

Unlocking mobile phone is no more illegal. Recently also I unlocked my mobile phone safer and easier using unlock code. I got the unlock code for my mobile phone from ClassicUnlocking.Com at affordable cost with easy unlocking guide. It was very useful for me.
