There are two sides of the argument when it comes to RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tracking. This is a tracking style that’s used with microchips and other devices so that a company or organization can tell where you are. It’s both good and bad, and it largely depends on which side of the issue you’re on. For example, it’s used in monitoring bracelets for lawbreakers who are on house arrest or who aren’t allowed to travel to certain places or outside of a given radius. It’s also used to microchip pets, operate alarm systems and track vehicles.
Many people think it’s none of a company’s business where they are or where they’re going, so RFID is a problem for them. Others don’t care who is tracking them because they aren’t doing anything that they wouldn’t want the world to know about. Even some of these people who really never do anything wrong don’t appreciate being tracked. It’s seems nosy and unnecessary in so many ways. Legally however, there doesn’t appear to be a problem with people tracking. Planting a chip on an actual person isn’t really something that’s become an issue. It’s more likely that a vehicle that’s used for public transit – like a taxi – will be the kind of thing that’s tracked.
For a transportation company like a taxi business, it can assist them in knowing the employees are goofing off, really working or if they’re at the proper locations that they should be. Passengers in the cab may argue that they are also being tracked and be opposed to it. Most people don’t realize that there are more times than they may realize when tracking is taking place. In cases like these, privacy is not what it is believed to be, therefore consumers should be aware of this at all times and in most every area of their lives.
