Keeping an electronic eye on criminals

More about:

Dutch police have given up on the soft approach. Now they want to tag anyone convicted of a hold-up for two years to stop them re-offending. But not everyone agrees with the idea.

The key is tracking those who need tracking and doing it thoroughly. If a family member of your's has ever been harmed by a criminal, anyone would support targetted tracking. I say track anyone who is guilty of any personal violence against another human being. A hold up qualifies as a personal violence offence. But track ALL risky violent offenders. And for many of them - for life!

Implant a GPS device in the brain. That will teach them a lessen not to violate the laws of the "New World Order". Lets not stop with the criminals. Let us all have tracking devices implanted in order we don't buy more food than we need. The device will record all kinds of good information for the new order of mankind. It all starts off very simple and for good purposes like tracking people who have served their time and "might" repeat their crimes; and, then, the Pandora's box (the human mind) will open-up and find more reasons to control the human race.

And I'm sure there is a lot of companies involved that are cheering for having this 'guinea pigs' using them so they can improve the system. Making the future very frightening for those that dare to act free from the n.w.o. agenda commiting 'crimes' like commercializing organic food or medicinal herbs. And by the way, when are the banksters going to be controlled? Can you imagine? Two years without privacy to operate after cuts and taxes are increased for financing them?
