so instead of burnerphones, they will steal phones and keep phone awake until they have accomplished the crime they gonna do.

This is what always happens when governments enforce laws like this, victims and innoncents always suffer as result.

Its happening in finance where criminals groom dumb teengers for laundering money, or eldery's bank accounts they obtain via installing remote software.

So lets add 1 more reason for criminals to steal phone.

Edit: This is also happening in crypto world where criminals perform fake KYC. I guess with age verifications, this crime will increase in demand multiplefold and the last defense ID will be obsolete after data leaks and the fraud happening around it.
