Body Trackers

[Ultra Lantern]

If society changed and all the governments forced everyone in the world to have trackers implanted in them,would you refuse one or not?Do you really want your whereabouts known by the government?This thread is to discuss your opininions about the issue.

I would definitely refuse to have 1 implanted in me. It would also defeat the meaning of this country (home of the free, etc).

I guess you'd be in the resistance and live underground.
I'd be there with you.

 

[Duke]

quite possibly......

 

[Boom]

Honestly, I wouldn't care. I'm a law-abiding citizen. I've got nothing to be afraid of. If the government wants to observe my life, they can knock themselves out. But I recommend bringing a book. It can get quite boring.

At the very least, make it required for registered criminals.

If only it would deter crime then yes, but all the tracking chips in the world would never be able to show the intent of a person who commits or is about to commit a crime & what type of crime they have committed at that time.

How about an OPERATION SHAME along with the body tracking chips, where a criminal is forced by law to wear a shirt that is labeled with all of his or her crimes that they have comitted for the rest of their lives but then that wouldn't work very well either because they would simply just take it off when out of the site of law enforcement & then go out & commit more crimes until they were caught again.

If you're paranoid about the Government tracking you, you've probably done something worth them keeping their eye on you, just sayin'.

ummmmmmm no. in my view its a matter of principles & privacy.

 

[Paroxysm]

I'm down with trackers. I'd totally be subservient in a dystopia society.

All you have to do is tell people it works with a smartphone app, and they'll use it voluntarily. Foursquare has already proven this.

"lol, at my bff Mandy's house. Here's a foursquare link with the address and Google Map directions."

 

[Endeavor]

I would not care.
It would certainly help locate missing persons and go a long way to stopping the abduction of children.

 

[BlackLantern]

there are many, many facets to this issue

- you could make the argument this could help with missing children, and whats to stop a parent from lowjacking their kid if that kind of tech becomes readily available

- various views on what privacy means

Why don't you walk around naked? You must be ashamed of your body.

 

[terry78]

Because they're not already doing this?

Please read the first post again.

I don't see why I should

I don't see why I should

Do you take all things seriously?
I stated If society changed and you think it's real.

No I don't? You've severely misinterpreted my meaning.

Aesop has no problem with a proposed 'Body Tracker', claiming he has nothing to hide.

I disagree with that, so I turned his reasoning against him in a different context.

My mistake.--sorry

 

[Wolfwood]

I actually wouldn't be so concerned about what my government would do, but what some outside source would do with a body tracker. Because you know as soon as those things come out, someone will be working on a way to hack them and influence them.

Maybe make mine say I'm somewhere I'm not or allow them to know when I'm away from my family/house. People already do this kind of stuff with Facebook.

 

[Erzengel]

You'd have criminals who would go to extremes when kidnapping someone , whether it would be having some sort of signal blocker or removing the device off of someone.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Sounds like the mark of the beast to me.

I had given this some thought.....

 

[The Squirrel]

I'd resist anything being implanted into my body that wasn't a life saving surgery. (ie a pace maker or artificial hip)

 

[Alex The Great]

I guess I'd be okay with it. I got nothing to hide
