SERIOUS criminals might one day be microchipped as a crime prevention measure, SA Police Commissioner Mal Hyde has told a forum in Adelaide.
Mr Hyde said though the remark was "flippant", rapid developments in electronic crime detection would lead to changes not considered today.
"I'd like to microchip a lot of different people, just to be a little bit flippant about it, but I don't think that's going to happen," said Mr Hyde, a key-note speaker at the Asian Pacific Crime Prevention forum.
"I say it sort of flippantly, but who knows, because attitudes change so much?"
Who knows indeed, because attitudes change so much? Criminals tomorrow? Everyone else the day after that?
