Same here....point taken

I reckon democratic countries will be the last if ever it were to happen.

The minute a populace disagrees with a ruling entity, the opposition are quick to latch on

Is it really that much different than electronic foot shackles? Don't think so. If you reject the one, you also must reject the other. Or you accept the one, and have no real argument not to accept the other as well.

I'm totally in favor of putting these chips on convicts, and permanently too.

Oh and Skybirds right.

There is absolutely no difference between this and electronic shackles. The alternative is to keep them in jail instead of sentencing to home confinement.

So, who's seen V for Vendetta??

As long as a law is made saying its wholly and solely for criminals, and runs as letum said, only for the course of the sentence.

As for the vibrating, electroshock ones - nope. never.

To suggest that it is OK to violate my body in this manner - which is internally, suggests that it is also OK to chop off the jewels of sex predators. To put someone to death is less horrible in my opinion. The shackles and ankel bracelets, not such a bad thing, but when you start to violate my body, the 'It is not right' portion of my soul stands up and takes notice.

In the UK the term we use for these so called anklet and wrist bracelets is 'tagging'

Believe me when I say.....THEY DO NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY WELL.

There are a number of ways of fooling the central monitoring centre.

Often the centre is of the belief the individual is in there place of abode, when in actual fact they are out on the streets re-offending

We're not talking about you, unless you're a convicted criminal, seeking home confinement that is.

Oh and BTW castrating sexual predators, especially pedophiles, sounds like a darn good idea!

Nah, i'd never be in favor of tagging Subman, unless he broke the law that is, and only then to keep his rosy cheeks out of prison.

I meant that next week you'll be in favor of doing it to people who let their dogs poop on the lawn, and then the guy who puts his trash out on the wrong day.

The camel's nose works for both sides.
