It was said of the Soviet Union that they had so many regulations, edicts, and laws that everyone was guilty of something. But so long as you did your job, paid your taxes, and remainded a "party member in good standing", they left you alone.
We're almost at that point in the United States. We have so many malum prohibitum edicts that all citizens are guilty of something. Implant this chip, and it will be easier to keep track of all those "crimes" to use for a later date.
Those that think they have nothing to fear because they "obey the law" are either fools or hermits. They should start reading law books to find out that they may not be the upstanding citizen they think they are.

This need not be a "negative" BUT RATHER A BENEFIT. We indeed have many laws that all citizens violate - but under Social Fact Thesis theory, these are not truly laws - under this theory the validity of a law must reflect certain social realities - and be backed by a credible threat of punishment. Forcing a populations to tally violations of non-credible "laws" would drive much needed simplification and reform of a hopelessly complicate and arcance legal system. Right now, however, it is enough to know that the cops will not ticket you for 70 in a 65, and forces us to live a kind of hypocrisy that, in my opinion, citizen implants would remedy.
