GPS tracking in school uniforms August 21, 2007
Posted by Rich in : GPS tracking and privacy, GPS tracking children , trackbackFrom the UK comes news that Trutex, the country’s largest seller of school uniforms, is considering incorporating GPS tracking in future product lines. From Gizmodo UK:
According to its survey, 44% of parents want to tag their children with GPS tracking devices while almost 60% would be pay for GPS devices that are incorporated into the school uniform.
Interestingly, 39% of kids from 9-12 years old want to be tagged, saying they feel safer if their parents know where they are. Unsurprisingly, kids aged over 13 were less keen on Mom and Pop knowing their whereabouts.
Totally unsurprising to me, considering that there are Brits that want to inject their kids with a GPS tracking chip, and that commenters here overwhelmingly favor it.

I am using Vehiclepath’s VP200 unit in my family vehicles. One of the vehicles was recently stolen and I was able to recover it from Tijuana, Mexico.
Not only have I been there to help my family many times, but the anti-theft came through and thwart the theft attempt on our vehicle.
The VP200 GPS vehicle tracking unit can be seen at www.vehiclepath.com. There is every-minute unlimited tracking available for $15 a month - a great deal!!!
