De maatregel, die door de Senaat wordt goedgekeurd, machtigt microchipimplants voor personen die wegens één of meer van 19 hevige inbreuken worden veroordeeld die minstens 85 percenten van hun zin, met inbegrip van moord, verkrachting en één of andere vormen van diefstal en burglary moeten dienen, terwijl het belemmeren van overheid van anders het vereisen van microchipsimplants in iedereen.

The tiny electronic implants are commonly used to keep track of pets and livestock, but several House members questioned whether their forced use in people would be unconstitutionally invasive.

“We are going down that slippery slope,” said Rep. Ed Cannaday, D-Porum.

Lawmakers never voted on the measure. During debate, its author, Rep. Sue Tibbs, R-Tulsa, asked that it be sent back to a joint House-Senate conference committee where the exception for violent offenders was inserted.

Cannaday and others said the measure may violate the Fourth, Fifth And Fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, the Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment and the Fourteenth Amendment contains the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses.

“I see it as invasive,” Cannaday said. He said many sex offenders and prisoners convicted of other crimes are already required to wear wrist or ankle bracelets when they are released from prison so their movements can be monitored by satellite tracking devices.
