This is a bit off topic but is very important for all Canadians.
Coming in 2009 to BC... RFID drivers licenses(enhanced). A small chip that will allow the police and government to track you wherever you go in BC.... Premier Gordon Campbell says it's in regards to make it easier to cross the United States border(by order of President George W. Bush). But since the chip can be read from at least 30 feet away .It makes it the perfect anti-innocence tool available today. Police will just park on the side of the road with a scanner and scan vehicles going by. No scan on a car after a certain date? Driver must not have his license on him. A case to pull the driver over to illegally search the vehicle. But if you have your license on you? A very good cause to take the government and the police to court for violating your right to privacy and innocence. Or the officer scans someone known to the police. Good enough cause to look for criminal activity? One again, Illegal.
Tracking drivers via micro chips in drivers licenses.
How to disable(break). Shine a bright light behind license while looking at it. See the dark spot(RFID). Mark it. Take hammer to chip area(not too hard so you don't damage license). No more tracking of you. . . .Hopefully this information will prevent it from coming to British Columbia(Oops. To late). . . . By the way, That digital drivers license photo and signature? Already in Canada's crime computer. The Government only needs your thumb print next, to have a complete set.
This guarantees your right to privacy and to not be tracked by the government for innocent activity's.
And it does not deface the license.
Edit: Solicitor General John Les says Enhanced licenses at the moment are voluntary and only used for border crossing, and come with a sleeve to prevent reading of license while not in use. So in other words. Test them out for a couple of years, then dump on the masses.

And starting in BC, on Feb 1 2008. .. Prepay for gas before filling up. Once again, innocent people being accused of being criminals. The excuse is Workmans Compensation Board rules to keep attendants safe, but the real criminal here is the police of BC , who refuse to answer gas and run crimes. Why? The police avoid doing their job to save money. The police would rather set up illegal roadblocks to look for crime, instead of the only allowed use of roadblocks, which is to look for drunks. The police would rather not have to waste 2 hours booking the driver into jail and instead give illegal 12 or 24 hour roadside suspensions. No ticket? No jail? No crime. Drunks are supposed to go to jail for at least 12 to 24 hours and then in reality should be seeing a judge for bail to get released.
