The police shouldn't track where people are going. I think that tracking people, even if it is for "the safety of the city", is just wrong. The government shouldn't be able to track you, espically without your knowledge. But the entire city of San Fransisco is being tracked by debit cards, fast passes, and other such items used for faster transportation. Marcus was cornered by a couple of cops shortly after they started tracking people. He was being questioned for "abnormal trasportation patterns." I find this odd because sometimes people have to go somewhere they usually don't go, and tracking them makes it look like they have something sketchy to do, or something to hide.
Marcus and his dad begin to butt heads when the police bring Marcus home. I have to agree with Marcus when he says the the government tracking you is unnecessary, unwanted, and kind of ridiculous. His dad disagrees and says that it is his duty to be pulled over once or twice if it keeps the city safer. Personally, I would be really annoyed at the police and government if they decided it was okay to track everyone everywhere. Also, it isn't okay for them to have checkpoints outside nearly every building and cameras that try to identify who are by analyzing how you walk. The only disadvantage the government would see to all this technology is that most of it is easy to fool if you know the right way to trick it, or if you have the right equipment to confuse it. The only good thing about it is that it helps to take down drugdealers, adulterers, and other criminals.
