Indonesia wants all child sex offenders to be tracked using RFID microchips

The Indonesian government is keen to enforce a new law that will require all rapists and child sex offenders to be implanted with radio frequency identification (RFID) microchips that will track them 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the rest of their lives after they are released from prison. Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Mohamad Nasir told Indonesian TV channel Berita Satu that the government is interested in using RFID microchips to track offenders, but it is still waiting for the House of Representatives to vote on bringing into law a new Regulation on Sexual Violence against Children.
