Just another tool in intelligence gathering,hell most people are carrying a smart chip in their credit cards right now. They don't need to set up roadblocks
and demand your identification papers like the Nazi's did in 1930's.

Smart cities proponents claim that by integrating the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and networks of sensors that we can make our children smarter, our commutes faster, and even save lives. The outlandish claims don?t end there. Smart cities are heralded as the solution to everything from the opioid crisis to de facto school segregation. Perhaps the most outlandish claim yet is that knock-off RoboCops will even prevent crimes before they even happen.

The movement is only in its infancy, but smart city programs already include every municipal service from schools, to hospitals, to sanitation, to law enforcement. And those outside major cities aren?t exempt either. Increasingly, towns big and small are being taken in by the promise of a data-driven society.
