Child Abusing Vehicle Tracking
We seem to have a problem with repeat offenders in child abuse cases. Even more troubling is that these mentally ill individuals often commit their crime and then kill the victim to prevent future identification. There are too many of these cases in the news lately. I propose a new technology to be used in surveillance; RFID tracking of the convicted felon’s car. If the car goes through a school it will be registered. If the car stays too close to a school or a playground where children frequent, a central system will be notified which will track and alert the police. I have come to this conclusion after much review and reflection. Many say that we should put a bullet in their heads and/or never let them out of prison? Such logic seems like a good solution, although once a person has served their sentence they should be able to reintegrate into society. The problem is that society has determined through trial and error that the risk of reoffending is too great when protesting outside the homes or apartments of former sex offenders.
We don’t have the resources to constantly monitor these people. All surveillance professionals know that the people they observe are generally highly mobile; moving from one place to another frequently. The FBI and CIA know that closely monitoring such people is difficult, time-consuming, and logistically extremely costly. A man-to-man coverage is often employed as a strategy much like a basketball defense strategy; expect in this case that the surveillance team will become the background of the target. Another way to set up a defense schedule is by tracking each and every target in a larger grid format; grid fender. This becomes problematic when the transfer of a surveillance target crosses territorial boundaries or during the transition, the target does something unexpected. But even if we did this to child molesters, we just can’t afford it. There are almost as many people on Internet sex offender lists as there are Lawyers in our country. We simply can’t police everyone, the costs to the taxpayer and the labor required are logistically impossible; Or is that it? I think that through new technologies we can have our cake and eat it too.
With more and more people being put on watch lists by paranoid government bureaucrats and more and more people using the government to attack their enemies by putting them on watch lists, the costs are getting pretty high. This means budget increases from taxpayers’ money, which is a problem because of government borrowing. As the Department of Homeland Security discovered, it is almost impossible to police every possible new insurgent in the country in the United States and those who are in organized crime, such as gangs, radical groups, or even potential connections to international terrorists. Most citizens are more concerned about child molesters than international terrorists in their community. Actually, they should be more worried about getting environmental cancer or dying in a car accident in the United States. But the people and citizens of our nation want to be protected, and the FBI and law enforcement professionals are already very busy.
I propose a new invention. A passive RFID tag, which connects to a car’s electrical system. This is how it should work. First, the RFID tag’s antenna would be made of a highly conductive material and have very sharp internal angles. Here is an image of an RFID tag;
Figure number one:

Figure number two:

The tags would be attached under the car to the exposed wires, giving them power when they needed it. Passive tags would simply travel on the wires until they passed a sensor. Sensor readers would be placed inside off-site traffic signal poles and would have a small piece of tape on the outside of the signal that would be a cell phone antenna. The road sign itself would be the RFID receiver’s antenna, which would be placed on the outer edge that glows in the dark strip around the road sign.
In figure one, the RFID tag antenna would be placed along the cable and attached by splicing the cable at two points along the length of the antenna. In figure two, the antenna would perhaps be placed inside a frame rail and fitted against an automotive electrical cable and spliced at a point where the RFID tag pierces the polymer insulation on the cable. Anytime a target passed such a traffic signal, the tag would alert the FBI surveillance center.
By using this system, we could reduce the number of FBI agents on the payroll and reduce taxpayer spending for surveillance equipment by turning to old-fashioned network defense surveillance. During the cold war, the FBI had placed transponder units in the dashboards of Russian diplomatic cars that beeped and identified the car whenever it crossed a bridge outside of Washington DC. Such a plan is not without history, but with new technology and passive RFID tags, no one would know that their car was being watched. The good part is that a helicopter, a specially equipped police car, a truck stop, a cargo container crane, a rest stop, an overpass, or a border crossing could easily be outfitted with the same receiving device and pick up instantly. the gamma target and alert Central Command.
I believe that almost all suspected international terrorists can be traced without excessive cost to the taxpayer or errors during transfers from MI 6, Scotland Yards, FBI, CIA or other international counterterrorism surveillance teams. Adding the latest, newest and least expensive technology to our arsenal will save millions of dollars of taxpayer money and many lives. And tracking down child molesters who generally stay regional using the same network defense plan should be pretty easy. If we use the research and development funds for the Department of Homeland Security and DARPA to fund this for international terrorism; once the system is in place, we can easily track child molesters. Think about this; Do you want to protect your children?
