Somewhat Orwellian, But An Interesting Thought

So, a proposal to chip mojados to track them.

Dart 'em while they're crawling over the fence. No problem.

However, let's look at the slipperly slope here. If it works for them, why not one for everyone else? A bank robber can't get away, we'll just track them through the chip. A missing child can be tracked within seconds. Sounds good, right?

But if the whole world falls apart, and our government turns Orwellian and evil (which I am convinced of anyway), they'll be able to catch the insurgents and discontents really easily. They'll know where people are 24/7.

That's just too scary. We have a habit of letting rights get swept under the rug, especially if a criminal who hid behind that right utilizes it effectively. Well, we can't let that happen. So just forget about the Fourth Amendment, kick in the doors and make a search without a warrant. It's ok, because that was only a good-for-nothing criminal that got his rights trampled. It won't happen to all us good folks.

This is why criminal defense attorneys do what they do. The Constitution's Bill of Rights applies to everyone, but especially the criminals. If it can be done to the criminals, they can and will do it to you, too.
