Just have your chip scanned and go! And with GPS locator, if you commit a crime, they will instantly know where to go to arrest you. While probably not legal today, new technology and new judges in the coming years, might bring changes!
HILO said:I like the idea, but the Supreme Court has ruled slap on GPS unconstitutional without a warrant. And this is exactly slap on GPS. Hopefully a mini EMP can be developed.

Neat story and video about a deployable GPS tracking unit.

The Road Patriot is an automatically guided rocket-powered unit that is designed to stop a target vehicle by emitting an electromagnetic energy pulse that disrupts the vehicle’s engine controls and associated sensors. The unit mounts underneath the bumper of a pursuit vehicle and is activated by a
triggering mechanism that lowers the unit within 1 second to ground level, where it is then launched. Propelled by the rocket at a speed of 20 miles per hour
faster than the pursuit vehicle, the device can be launched at up to seven car lengths behind the vehicle in pursuit. Once disabled, the vehicle is drivable
only in a “limper mode” before coming to a safe, rolling stop.
The Road Patriot was tested by several agencies, however,never made it into production. Conditions had to be perfect for the device to work and
practical application could not be achieved. The entire concept appears to have been abandoned by 2000.
