Big Brother is watching GA

So I was watching the news yesterday (and ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION too! *shock*) when I hear this thing about putting chips in our driver's licenses with all our personal info on it which will be required for travel ANYWHERE...
So of course I automatically think "They want to know where I am, do they?"

I stopped paying attention there.

Does anyone have any more info on this???? It sounds horrifying!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, you're (maybe) Welsh, so I can't really comment on that. Here in the US, though, it's apparently legal to put a GPS tracker on your car without a court warrant.

Welsh DESCENT.... (but mostly Filipino)

I don't live in wales. I live in jawja.
Yeah, I know that, but the thing is, REQUIRING personal info to go ANYWHERE sounds very "This Perfect Day" to me.
Next thing you know, they'll start skipping the middle man and putting the chip in our arms...

then JESUS comes!

j/k

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The worst part about it is that they probably have tracking devices in the cars, so this won't make much of a difference.

I liked the reasoning:

"The police could also have observed the car from a distance, instead they used a GPS device."

Okay, you have to get NEAR the vehicle to put the tracker on, don't you? Doesn't that violate aome kind of law?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Considering a car is your private property, yes, it does.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

exactly, so no matter how you look at it, the fact that they're tracking you through a necessity is a bit weird....

Well, think about the next line of how to track you:
Inserting a chip/device in your body (as seen in the movie Demolition Man) You can't access anything, make purchases, etc without it. A lot of people will say it's the Mark of the Beast (see Revelations or the book series Left Behind)

Seeing a lot of these movies does bring ideas clearer to society doesn't it? (We are just a couple of seasons away from seeing something exactly like the Running Man) (How 'bout Climbing For Dollars?)- If you've seen the movie, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Don't dismiss what you think will never happen.....

Wouldn't bet though on a big guy with the funny accent to show up, dispose of the showmaster/regime and save the day.

Even though the car is your private property, doesn't the fact that you leave it it in a public place defeat the arguement that the police shouldn't be allowed to touch the outside of it? I mean, when you go to the grocery store do you expect that no one is going to even brush up against your car? I think that since there is no reasonable expectation that your car will be left untouched it makes them planting the sensor on the car legal.

How ya doing, buddy?

If the government gives me free access to my tracking information, Im fine with them knowing where my car is or where my licence is as well. They can't be all public and selling the information.

You're seriously fine with the government knowing where you are at all times?

It is an infringement on privacy. but if you are doing nothing wrong there should not be any problem.

Sure. I'm a good boy now.
When I was a dope smoking bad boy, with a bad driving record and qustionable relationships with dealers I would have been a bit uncomfortable.

I don't think its infringement unless the information is used the wrong way. We have all kinds of other records that are deemed private, I dont see why this couldnt be the same.

Driver's Licenses already contain a lot of information. Your number allows police to pull up your entire criminal record. However, I believe to go so far as to put a tracking device into it would be a grave violation of privacy. I could understand this being used in the private sect. For example, parents keeping dibs on their kids, but that's about it.
