According to this article the UK with start tracking the 5,000 worst criminals in the UK, with an increase to 20,000 by 2008. Granted this COULD reduce them committing crimes agian. But didn't they already serve their time?

They've served their time, but they've also shown enough disregard for the law to break it multiple times. I don't think this should be considered "Big Brother" because their government is only watching those who have already proven they cannot function properly in their society.

the worrisome things is that with that general explanation is that it justifies the use of it for any "career criminal" be it mob hitman or frequent speeder.

You mean like the "lumpenproletariat"? It's Karl Marx all over again.

I see it as being no different than being under tracked under house arrest, aside from the fact these sickfucks can leave their house.

I see this as another case of "Why should I care? As long as I don't become a felon..I should not worry about this."

Don't be a retard and commit such crimes...you don't get watched.

Wait this is GB ... they already track thousands of people and have done it for years. They are just now admitting some of it. This isn't really news.
