What ever happened to freedom? Notice it isn't a word thats thrown around much anymore! The government does not have the right to control a person's movements in my opinion or to track them if they aren't deemed a threat to National Security. Its a breach of privacy. Though I am aware it happens daily with the use of CCTV etc.
We are talking about people who have committed criminal offences without paying their due, not innocent motorists as the headline would suggest (I really do believe some people don't bother reading beyond the one inch letters). Do you think they should be allowed to leave the country and ignore their responsibilities?

I know the USA is an awkward country to live in at times, but they have much more freedom than the UK does!
Such as the almost certain removal of the right to file a writ for habeas corpus and the right no to be detained indefinitely without trial (and many more) you mean?
