This is a question Controversial Beliefs

Some mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

I don't see the problem with having chips implanted and movement being logged and one's likeness being recognised.

That's a very controversial belief.
It may help in preventing crime or catching criminals but our freedom and privacy would be lost. It's a big price to pay for the illusion of security.

Privacy yes, but so what?
It wouldn't negate our freedom.

It would negate our freedom to commit crimes.
I rarely, if ever, break the law but I want the option to if I choose.

I'm not arguing my case very well am I?

(sigh)
The trouble is the definition of "crime".

Theft, Murder, Arson, etc we can pretty much all agree that these are crimes.

Posit that Der Gubbermint, who are of course wonderful and caring human being who would never in a million years abuse their position of power, define "being a bit foreign in a built up area after the hours of darkness" as a crime, or "Wearing the same T-shirt two days in a row".
That's when things go nasty.

Or just watch the film "Brasil" and wonder how many Typos there are in the excellent databases kept by the police...
