Is this really a reason to give up so much autonomy and let the government know your every whereabout?
Think about the implications. No government ever in the history of the world has been trustworthy. Giving the government this much power simply to 'reduce crime' looks more like a cliff than a slippery slope.

- auganov 4y agoWhat autonomy are you giving up by "allowing" the government to collect and analyze publicly observable information? What power is the government getting? Sure, this may be used to limit your autonomy. Much like a police officer could shoot you for no good reason. Ergo police officers shouldn't carry pistols? If you can limit potential abuses only by handicapping the government you've already lost.
