Too complicated, and requires bureaucracy to work.

Just ban that crap in public spaces.

I dunno if banning shit still works. NYC banned electric motorcycles being sold as ebikes and Amazon was like "lol stfu" and continues to ship them there anyway.

Also it'll simply not work. What hinders the offender to just buy it used? Or just have some friend who does not have an entry buy it?
