The Conservative Zone

I've jumped up and down on this subject since well before I started this blog: Sprint Service Lets Parents Track Down Kids Via GPS.

It sounds like a good idea, it really does. But there is a difference between good, sound ideas and ideas that sound good.

The secret to changing any society is to start with the children. If you can get the children to accept it, then by the time they are adults, the changes are in place and permanent.

So now we are being tracked everywhere we go. Is there any privacy anymore? Are you truly free if someone is always looking over your shoulder? For example, say you and some friends went to a bar to socialize. You are the designated driver. Prove that you didn't drink. A suspicious wife or parent would accuse you of drinking, and there is nothing you can do to prove that you didn't drink. Guilty by association.

And so it is with law enforcement. If they get hold of these records, or even live data, you will have to prove a negative to them for every move you make. I thought the burden of proof was on the state, not on the citizen?

And so it begins. Look for the death of privacy of any type within my lifetime.
