phone confiscation

Taking someone's mobile

Phone confiscation is the act of taking away someone's phone, typically as punishment or to enforce rules.

Parents confiscate phones from misbehaving children; teachers confiscate them from students who text in class; authorities may confiscate them as evidence.

Phone confiscation is the nuclear option in our house.
