"Apple said it will update the iPhone and AirTag software to show a message during setup that using AirTags to track people is a crime in many regions around the world, and that law enforcement can request its associated user information.

The Big Tech company will also introduce a feature it calls Precision Finding, which will point iPhone users to unknown AirTags when they’re nearby."

I seriously doubt that having a warning like this will have much of an effect on the criminal use of the tags.

This should work well. We know putting it in writing stops criminals. That's why we no longer have a drug problem and criminals no longer break the law.
