I bet you also think we need to spend more on the war on drugs

Typical boomer trash.

As I have always been a loyal Party Member, I would have nothing to fear by this simple exposure of my lawful daily activities.

Ergo, Our Glorious Revolution would most likely find better subjects to surveil than myself, Comrade.

Would you be in favor of people having a type of chip implanted into them (let's say it cannot be tampered with or removed) that could be used to track anyone in the United States so that it can be determined who was at the scene when a significant crime (like murder or robbery) occurred?


Who would decide which persons got implants? If the hypo answer is anything but the individual themselves, then frick no. Worst idea imaginable.

"Hey, you may or may not commit another crime in the future, here's your implanted tracking chip."

The hell is wrong with you people?

Yea, no. Terrible idea, and unconstitutional as all get out.

Yeah, I would want someone to be able to track my every movement...


Seriously, I am not a fan of people tracking people. I think its kind of crazy when parents track their teenage kids.

Everyone.

I didn't figure too many people would go for this, but if there were a murder on Friday night at 7:00 PM at 123 4th Street and it could be known who was on the premises at that time, I don't know why that's a bad thing.

Some husband's trip to the titty bar isn't going to be exposed.

But its going to be recorded. What happens when that info falls into the wrong hands... like when that person crosses the wrong people and he needs to pay?

What if your text messages and phone call records fall into the wrong hands? What if your lawyer or doctor or pastor tells his friends your embarrassing personal info at a party and they all laugh about it?

All possible.

I hope you can see the difference between disclosure of what I voluntarily tell someone and involuntary disclosure of my compulsory surveillance, troll.

1. No one is going to know where YOU were at a particular time... just who was in a certain area at a certain time. If you were banging some woman on one side of town while a murder went down at a home on the other side of town, no one is going to know that.

2. Even if some government nobody might vaguely know what you're doing at random times, who really gives a shite? I think it's a fair trade off for law enforcement to know who was at a crime scene when the crime occurred.

Yeah governments throughout history have never abused their power.

No way I'd be in favor of this.
