I think the best way to prevent the sale of crime fridges to criminals would be to have national governments integrate the entirety of data that each nation has, from every level, on every citizen. Then we can create an API which market participants like Frigidaire and Bosch can use to query whether a purchase should be permitted based on the purchaser.

/s, if not obvious. Strange times.

I bought a used fridge and flashed it with a custom ROM

I think all reasonable citizens could agree that a simple licensure for fridge ownership is for the best.

Besides, we can use the extra license taxes from people with multiple fridges to raise funds for the schools.

You don't hate the children, do you?

Exactly, and I hope we keep track of all fridge purchases with biometrics from customers (and as thus, should not be able to order from online). That better be hooked up to an API that the cops can query at any time.
