Malaysia chippar landets fordon med RFID-trackers före 2018 - "ger ökad trygghet"

Malaysias myndigheter och deras transportstyrelse har enligt Tech Dirt beslutat om att chippa samtliga fordon i landet med RFID-trackers före 2018. Myndigheterna anser att säkerheten ökas eftersom staten får möjlighet att övervaka och spåra kriminella i "real time." Sannolikt kommer nog fler länder snart att följa efter, på en plats nära dig...

Malaysia To Introduce RFID Tracking For Every Vehicle

***
2015-08-25 Source: Tech Dirt
Here on Techdirt, nationwide tracking schemes tend to raise a red flag. In Malaysia, by contrast, there seem to be no such worries, as ambitious plans to introduce RFID tagging for all vehicles, reported by The Sun Daily, indicate:
A new vehicle security tracking system suitable for all types of vehicles -- the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) -- will be implemented nationwide by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) by 2018.
According to the article, there are plenty of advantages of doing so:
This new system will enable the police and other authorities to effectively track down criminals
And:
the RFID technology will herald a new era for vehicle security in Malaysia and it could be the answer to combat vehicle theft and cloned vehicle syndicates.
Moreover:
the RFID can also be used to provide real-time monitoring on road traffic situation.
And if you're worried that ne'er-do-wells might seek to avoid being tracked simply by ripping off said RFID tags, fear not, Malaysia has that covered:
theSun understands that the RFID tag is designed to shatter should any one attempt to tamper with it and can transmit a warning to the JPJ and police, should any one try to remove the sticker.
Sounds pretty foolproof. So why aren't other countries rushing to adopt this approach?
Interestingly, RFID technology has been criticised in many countries for its effectiveness to track vehicles movement and citizens. It has been widely accused for invasion of privacy in Belgium, Italy, UK and US.
I just can't imagine why.

RFID - Snart är det dags att "Chippa" Sverige för ökad kollektiv trygghet

Trenden är tydlig. Allt fler svenskar har senaste tiden blivit mer positivt inställda till ett eget inopererat mikrochipp under huden, precis som så många husdjur, kor och grisar tidigare fått "för sin egen trygghet". TT och Ny Teknik publicerade nyligen en artikel om alla fördelar med att bli "chippad." På Stockholms nya "innovationshus" så chippas folk redan frivilligt på löpande band...(video)http://undermattans.blogspot.se/2015/02/rfid-snart-ar-det-dags-att-chippa.html
