This tracker Is about the well being of a person who wanders, and really can’t find their way home, and doesn’t have any Id on them.

Yes it happens in TV, even at 50, 60, 70 and up.
In our old neighborhood, had a mother visiting, 68, she took the golf cart out for a ride, not telling anyone she left. When kids found her gone report made, the hunt began. Three hours later she had no idea how to get back, and wouldn’t ask for help, too proud to admit she was lost. She was found by a neighbor who Recognize the cart, and called her children.

Is that an evasion of privacy, if she had a tracker and could have been found in an hour? I don’t think so, I think it’s just protecting the well-being of your loved ones, but others may have different thoughts than what I do.

We have many people here that are in some forms of dementia, and denial, and do not agree that there are issues. Family keeping them safe, is much better than having law-enforcement looking for them.
Would you like a tracker put on you at all times? The mother-in-law was found and it’s no big deal. You can bet this tracker would be used by more than that family. This is the beginning of total loss of privacy.
