Canada vows to ban Flipper Zero device in crackdown on car theft

How do you ban a device built with open source hardware and software anyway?

@arstechnica I mean.. This seems disingenuous. Creating Firearm based on OS components/designs is perfectly possible. Yet it wouldn't keep us (at least you know, sane people outside of NA) from banning them.

You can make it illegal for people to have stuff on them, it's no magic bullet but it helps fighting certain types of crime.
