The banning of spoof cards has been a very controversial matter lately as it was just passed into law towards the end of 2010. Many have expressed mixed feelings about how spoof cards are used since there has been an incremental increase in harassment which resulted in such a bill being passed into congress and the senate. Thanks to the law, it now defines the fine line between the allowed and unlawful uses of a spoof card which is dead simple. The use of a spoof card in violation of existing laws is illegal.

Why the controversy about spoof cards? Aside from being a form of amusement, there are certain people who value its importance.

First and foremost is protecting one’s own privacy. Nobody wants to be called in the privacy of their homes or their personal mobile phones. Calling out from your home number to make an important call justifies the right of the person you are calling to call you back on your home number. That is the logic behind it. It also aims to serve as a company branding whenever you are out of the office and need to make some calls. You don’t want to be bothered while doing important business. Your office can take care of that. So the only way to avoid it is to mask your own Caller ID to ensure you do not get a call where you do not want to be called. It also aims to serve as a company branding whenever you are.

Security of your family comes first and foremost in every individual’s priorities. Parents who have teenage children find solace in using spoof cards to give them peace of mind whenever their children try to evade their phone for of course petty reasons teenager’s think are important at their age. Peace of mind is priceless.

Certain bureaus that handle sensitive issues use spoofing. Law enforcement agencies come first and foremost in mind as this is a necessity in fulfilling their promise to the community. Police officers and investigators use this technology in implicating criminals by using this to find leads. Bureaus such as welfare organizations for abused women and children have the need to protect victims in their custody so it is necessary for them to take extra precaution in reaching out to members of their family especially if it is also a member of the family involved. This also applies for investigations they have to make while the victims are in their custody.

The possibilities are endless. There may be some uses even, that we have never heard of but the bottom line is, you can think how badly caller id spoofing can be if not regulated properly or how hilarious it might be for amusement, but what of the people who rely on them because their lives and the lives of others they are responsible of depend on it?
