Yes...it will never be used for anything else. At the moment. Trust us.
Like a lot of ideas, it sounds fantastic, and will undoubtedly stop some crimes. But once something like this is in place, you're trusting that every administration from now and into the future will never use it for nefarious purposes.

There are to many do gooders in the world on their high horse. "Think of the Children", "If it only saves one life" and all that. In the perfect world this sort of thing works wonders for catching crims but its unlikely to actually work. Number plate thefts go up and there will be a way to now implement the technology to hinder the lives of honest hard working people and impede on our freedom just a little bit more. Suddenly the system becomes a point to point GPS speed trap or big business given access to check sickies.
How would everyone feel about having a GPS ankle bracelet on permanently? That would certainly help the police catch criminals, it would be for our own good right?
