- pmcall221, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43It SHOULD ban forced implants of any kind.
- BrandonRohan9, on 10/12/2007, -6/+33it should ban wiretapping... abuse of power.... and any bill the MPAA/RIAA want passed.
- n0sferatu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19It's rare you hear about lawmakers doing something that actually benefits the citizens.
- dustyshadow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Fines are not rewards. The money will go to the state government, not you.
- tehnico, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19Mod me down for redundant, but I must still applaud this action!!
- leviathan3k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Should the legislators wait until a problem actually happens? This is preventative legistlation for a situation that is almost *sure* to happen eventually. This is a good idea, and it prevents people from even getting the idea of doing stuff like this.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10don't mod down 0o0o so fast - rev 13 has an interesting quote, actually - independent of any religious aspects, it does fit the topic:
"16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,
17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name." - ryanmeadows, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Parents are the legal guardians of their children. Legally, the parents have control over their child. When was the last time a child signed a waiver?
- Oakes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Um, can't we just generally ban force? I'd rather not have my tax dollars spent making legislation banning the forceful implantation of every specific object imaginable. Somehow that seems...inefficient.
Actually, stupid. Stupid is the word I was looking for. - LordSkywalker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Damn 10 grand a day. I'll let it slip my mind after one gets installed. A few months later I'll remember and press charges. I've always wanted a butler.
- o0o0steve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Check out Revelation 14:9-11 in particular
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=73&chapter=14&version=31 - monsterkody, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I know...
with all of the things going on right now, it's good to hear this - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It would be nice if states started to assert their rigts and the rights of the citizens of those states..instead of continuing to allow the federal government to violate the US constitution and take power away from them.
The US was never meant to be run by a central government.
I am a sovereign citizen of NY STATE, and NOT the USA. - RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5That's why I wear tinfoil clothing.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Like i heard on coast to coast am, I am not worried about "forced" RFID implanting, I am worried at those companies where you are frowned upon to not have one, for example, the companies who create the RFID implants.
Then everyone is coerced into getting one and still you are not protected by any laws. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5good you know without this law they would force this BS on inmates.
- Oakes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Thanks, spling. In my extensive study of tort law I must have missed this crucial fact. You have saved me from making a potentially serious mistake.
That mistake, of course, is commenting on digg stories with the assumption that my words will not be taken so literally that I'm driven shove a probe up my ass in a desperate attempt to find intelligent life. - navinjohnson, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8"While Schneider acknowledged that he knows of no case where an RFID chip was forcibly implanted into a person..."
Way to priortize, legislators. How does this topic even come up with other problems to address?? - monsterkody, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah, that brings up an old issue though: in life you have to think for yourself and really decide if you want to be a follower or a leader. Obviously one path is much easier...
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Seriously - where in the Articles of Confederation does our government get the power to rule over states with any kind of authority?
- Oakes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@leviathan
Great point. Next we should make a law banning hypercraft tailgating and firing at said hypercrafts with wormhole guns powered by dark matter.
Certainly don't want to wait for this ***** to happen first. - terrenceisdaman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6ha ha - you got served
- donatj, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Woo, mark of the beast I say
- born, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@dusty Yeah, but you could probably make one heckuva civil case out of it.
- JimXugle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5The power lies with the proles.
- Justice101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5+ Digg for the obscure 1984 referance :)
- NSResponder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Good for Wisconsin. 49 states to go...
-jcr - eggo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you could use one.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8I mostly disagree with Zulugrid, but see no reason to mod him down. Can we please stop abusing the moderation system by using it to suppress differing opinions? One of the central purposes of freedom of speech is to protect the right to express an unpopular view.
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How about putting them in released prisoners?
- theoallardyce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is not good enough, they should also ban implants as a condition of business, for example you shouldn't be able to offer someone employment at your company on the condition that they get an implant, the same goes for renting houses, selling things etc. If prostitution is illegal then this certainly should be, no excuse.
- yoda715, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Good, at least I know I can go to Wisconsin if I have to.
- spling, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5The right to bear arms doesn't mean you can up a murder people who yell on your lawn, either.
- DWatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Gotta agree with oakes on this one... mod his comment down but he's correct. I'm all for the Bill of Rights, but this site is not public property.
- tehnico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Otherland That's even worse.
What's stopping someone from chopping someones arm off to gain access highly restricted areas? The convenience of attaching information to our person does not out weight the risk to life and limb.
edit -----> just read your comment goldenbb - redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just spend a few minutes in the microwave. I'll be damned if their chips can still track me after that.
- Wootery, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bury spam, not opinions that differ to your own.
Those who think otherwise are morons, and there are an unfortunate amount of them on digg. - goldenbb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's nothing the implant can accomplish that a ring or other externally attached device cannot except having the owner's body parts cut off by Yakuza.
- understudy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1cheers wisconsin!
// - CarlosReyes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2il say amen to that.
- Cbaar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I totally agree with Ryuuzaki. I may feel safer if nobody can legally force me to have an RFID implanted, but a society where nothing works without RFIDs (think of the uses as credit card, ID card, key...) is equally dangerous to human rights as being forced to have an RFID implanted.
The flaws of RFID are not to be overseen, further the finality of an implantation; misuse is not that unlikely, wether from private, corporate or governmental side. - AnusBreaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can we get this law in california and nevada?
- cvrti5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Man, those space aliens are screwed in Wisconsin.
- kualla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is very cool that Wisconsin went ahead and did this, but wait until the local government and big business start saying they aren't gonig to force you to get an implant, but in order to work for us you must get an implant otherwise no job, no membership, no ______...
Like a computer, the goverment can be exploited just by finding a loophole. - tehvsx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i'm starting to gain respect for my state
- rm999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oakes
He never mentioned the first amendment. Freedom of speech is a right I would like to think I have on this site - otherwise I wouldn't be here. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2that's a probable angle - along with the "convenience" line, as in: "well, of course you don't *have* to get implanted to do business with us, but if you don't, you'll have to go to the teller window, stand in line, fill out a bunch of forms, present ID, submit to nsa check, etc. - unless you have a chip, that is. with a chip you skip the lines, and as a bonus you get to choose a great piece of plastic junk from our customer reward catalog!"
once enough of the morons fall for that, it becomes the standard, and people that don't have them are viewed as suspicious. - ggrant2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not really a good way - think that folks won't find a way to remove them? And I think it is a vile idea anyway.
- fluffyturtle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They would just have them removed. There has to be a incentive to keep them and I don't think a bar of soap with a rope added to it is a good enough reward for not carving it out of your arm.
They can have check ups and things of that nature to make sure it is still in there but what would be the point. Cops could have a database and it would be easy to scan and pull up a file but if they plan on breaking the law then they will just remove the “chip”.
When they arrest someone they would have to scan them for the chip (which means more equipment and an new database), if it was removed or they aren't a released criminal they still have to go about it the old fashioned way.
It is a good idea in theory but really the only reason someone would want one is for money transactions. People talk about putting them in their kid or something, why would you do that? So you can identify the body? You can just go about that the old fashioned way too.
The old fashioned way means more work and more time but the majority of citizens would have to have the chip before it really became economical. - redneckblues, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3This is good. Hopefully now the police/FBI can't just give you a "secret shot" and have you by the balls.
