Is Caller Id Spoofing Legal?

Yes, caller id spoofing is legal. The reason that it is legal is becasue for years we didn’t have caller id. We just said, “Hello?” and started our conversation. We didn’t depend on caller id. Caller id is not a necessity (except in cases of law enforcement and emergency personnel) for a phone to function properly.

Also, how is it to easily to block your caller id while making a call by pressing *67? Pressing *67 before placing a call was never a legality.

The question should be if caller id should be legal? If we didn’t have caller id in the first place there would not be a need for caller id spoofing.  Caller id is somewhat of an invasion of privacy. Your phone rings and the first thing you do is look to see who is calling.

Of course if you owe a debt collector, and you look at the caller id to see who is calling you, of course you are not going to answer the phone based on what is showing on your caller id display.

If you didn’t show up for court and owe a bondsman some money and he calls, of course you aren’t going to pick up his call.

So caller id spoofing is legal and will remain legal. According to the website Free Caller Id Spoofing, they had a recent article about how a caller id spoofing company fought the law and won.

According to the article,

Caller Id spoofing is completely legal.
SpoofCard.com’s parent company went to bat for  for you, the consumer.

“In a landmark case that could lead to limits on states’ attempts to regulate activities conducted over electronic networks, including the Internet, the U.S. District Court in Miami ruled that Florida’s recently enacted Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act was unconstitutional and issued a judgment in favor of SpoofCard.com’s parent company, TelTech Systems Inc, and other plaintiffs. The Act prohibited most callers, and service providers, such as SpoofCard, from using Caller ID spoofing (which is the changing of the Caller ID to show any desired number) when making a call within Florida, or to any person in Florida.”
