What mechanisms have been put in place to prevent or control the implications described for P6? P6:-The Legal issues that involve using a mobile technology device are as follows:

1. Many people use their phones whilst they are driving, this can put points on peoples licences or much worse and cause a collision whilst on the road. (This can be sorted if the driver uses a hands free or Bluetooth)

2. Some people get there phones stolen, theft is a great issue in the legal department.

3. If your phone is stolen and you don't have a pass code or security then someone can easily delete all of your details, also you can lose all of your contacts if you don't back your phone up.

They have controlled the first issue I mentioned of texting or calling whilst inside a vehicle that is currently moving, this causes a great threat not only to those in the vehicle but to those that are near the vehicle. Many parents take the initiative to pull over in some cases to answer their phones so that they keep others as well as themselves safe. Also major companies have created built in Bluetooth into cars so that you don't have to answer and are able to talk without worry of crashing. There is also hands free headsets that are like headphones except you can interact with them and your safety is still ensured.

The issue of stolen phones has been drastically controlled as companies like Apple have an app that can help located your stolen or misplaced phone. This helps create less of an issue for legal departments.

Many new phones have pass codes and can allow their contacts to sync with Gmail and many others this way your phones information has been backed up and secured so there isn't a great threat with syncing your contacts and having a pass code.

The issue with illegal downloading is slowly being resolved by deleting and banning certain website that allow you to download illegal material. Those who oppose this are taken to court as well as fined.

These are some of the ways that mechanisms have been used to help prevent and control issue that you may face.
