Lula asks the population not to vacillate with mobile phones in the street to prevent theft

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) urged Brazilians to be more cautious with their cellphones in public places to prevent thefts, launching a new phase of the 'Celular Seguro' program. He emphasized that citizens should avoid being careless with their devices, warning that if they don't take precautions, they risk losing their phones. Lula highlighted the importance of staying vigilant, such as being aware of people around who might be suspicious, like cyclists performing stunts nearby. The initiative includes creating a national database called the Banco Nacional de Celulares com Restrição (BNCR), functioning similarly to a 'Serasa' system for stolen cellphones. This platform will compile data from police reports, telecom operators, and other security systems. One innovation is the 'Modo Recuperação,' which monitors stolen devices without immediately blocking them, allowing for voluntary return by new users.

Lula creates platform to curb cell phone theft and illegal sales

President Lula (PT) signed a decree establishing the 'Celular Seguro' initiative as a permanent public policy aimed at combating mobile phone theft and illegal sales. The measure creates the National Bank of Restricted Mobile Phones (BNCR), a platform that collects data on stolen, lost, or missing devices across Brazil. This system allows authorities to track and recover stolen phones by monitoring their IMEI numbers and notifying users if a device has been reported as stolen. The initiative includes a public lookup tool where individuals can check if a phone has any restrictions before purchasing it. Officials emphasized that this program targets organized crime and aims to reduce property-related crimes involving mobile devices.
