"Now the Ministry of Justice is exploring the possibility of injecting prisoners in the back of the arm with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that contains information about their name, address and criminal record. Such chips, which contain a built-in antenna, could be scanned by special readers. The implantation of RFID chips in luggage, pets and livestock has become increasingly popular in recent years."
Email I got back after signing Downing Street online petition.
"Thank you for signing the e-petition regarding the banning of micro chipping of humans.
The Government is not aware of any organisation or individual that is planning to micro chip humans, and so although in principle the Government would be against this practice, it seems disproportionate to legislate to ban it.
However, you may be reassured that any attempt to micro-chip someone against their will would certainly be covered by the law on assault, and as such is already illegal."
What's wrong with just tagging prisoners? at least that can be taken off when they've served their time.
So that's luggage, pets, livestock, prisoners, what's the next step? children? Lets get granny chipped shall we?
Of course if prisoners were chipped, people would then say that chipping the rest of us is saying were all prisoners.
But that's not really the point I'm trying to make, the Government will clearly have to have these people chipped against their will, I know they're prisoners and have done something wrong but once you have a chip in you you can't get it out. All I'm really trying to say that this is just another step towards chipping us all and they don't care about what they've said in the past about microchipping. I guess I'll be chipped when I get thrown in prison for refusing to carry an ID card.
I can read the newspapers now "Ms P arrested on grounds of refusing to carry an ID card, Ms P was obsessed with conspiracy theories and had an unhealthy interest in internet lies, she had viewed many online videos and websites that supported radical and dangerous views. Clearly a deeply troubled and paranoid individual."
There I've saved them the trouble of ridiculing me. I've wrote about modern burning at the stake before.
