i wonder if they will tie this in with the video cameras that abound over there.

Well - its no surprise that I don't agree with tagging people with locator chips; and the UK certainly does have a surveillance fetish that is rather distasteful. However, if we're comparing it like with like with the US - I believe that this country has more "wag the finger in the face" laws than the UK ever has.

Make of that what you will...

Americans only riot after sporting events. Not for something important like the suspension of Habius Corpus or things the Gov't does that take away rights.

One of my favorite bloggers, a Welsh economist, has an essay called "I ###### on the progressives of this planet" and these sorts of overreaching laws in the name of safety or modest improvement is exactly what he has in mind.
