Always starts with good intentions
Then someone gets a subpoena for their GPS records for a court case and all of a sudden those records are being used for a lot of things people never saw coming early on.

Just more and more technology intruding into your life every day. Pretty soon you're going to need Wild Weasel RFID chips to block RFID scans of you and your car, you'll be taking the battery out of your cell phone to keep it from ratting you out and the black box in your car that tells the cops how fast you were driving...where does all this stop?

And there's always some play-along chump who will stand up and say it's okay because it helps him keep tabs on his kids. Makes you wonder how we ever managed to raise children before we had all this crap that seems so indispensible now.
