Future criminals could be monitored by chips in their brains, experts claim

CRIMINALS could be tracked and controlled via brain chip monitoring in the future, according to neurotechnology law experts. Legal theorists are preparing for a future with widespread use of brain chips and augmented humans. Neurotechnology is the field of outfitting electronic devices for integration with the nervous system. While war-gaming the possibilities of neurotechnology impacting the law, Dr Allan McCay theorized that the courts could force criminals to adopt microchips for monitoring or controlling behavior in a report for The Law Society. "The political conditions might emerge for seeing neurotechnology as a broader solution to crime might come into place," McCay wrote.
