A couple of companies that have this equipment.

a little off the topic, but what about recording the DNA of every baby that is born(I assume this isnt done maybe it is) that way its on file for Murder/Rape investigations etc.

I'm sure people wouldnt mind their cell phones having a gps, like our cars already do now for getting places... As far as imbedding a chip somewhere in my child, no thanks. I hope this idea never takes off.

Even the cell phone services I just don't get who would use them. I don't really want other people to know where I am. If I do I'll send them a text message.

The only people I can see having any use for it is crazy jealous people who want to track their SO.

Track me. I don't give a [censored].

I never understand all the 'holy [censored] no, dont want the government knowing where i am all the time!' opinions on stuff like this. I'd def do this because 1. it would probably save a lot of people a lot time and sometimes worry wondering where i am. 2. i could now never get lost. 3. if i was ran over/kidnapped etc etc this is going to be a huge help 4. i have nothing to hide.

every little bit of privacy or rights you give up are never returned. cumulatively they add up to all your rights sooner or later.

We really don't have much to worry about with this currently. There's no way to implant anything on a person because the power supply has to be pretty substantial for GPS tracking. Sure, you could wear a watch like device or an ankle bracelet or carry around something 2-3x bigger than your cell phone, but these aren't exactly covert. i.e. won't be a deterrant for kidnapping or whatever as they'd be easy to spot. RFID chips are super small and implantable, but you need local censors to track these.

The government took away my right to park wherever I want. Is my right to buy a kitten next?

Don't cell phones already have GPS tracking? Do you mean that it would have to be a bog power supply because you wouldn't be able to recharge it regularly?
