Brazilians will be forced to use RFID chips and GPS trackers in their cars

Brazil‘s government, behind the facade of open democracy, continues to advance its way as one of the most autoritarian police states in the world.

Brazilian population will be forced very soon to have in their cars identification chips (RFID), besides GPS locators and blockers.

According to several news , the brazilian government hurries to show until november of 2010 the GPS tracker that will be legally required to be in all new cars from February of 2011.

It is unclear how this will work but in this article of the Folha de Sao Paulo says the Denatran (Transit National Department) will oversee the center, and that it will be operated by Serpro (organ of government for data processing). This means that the brazilian government can access the location of any car registered in any country!

The article in the Folha de Sao Paulo also says:

To circumvent the criticisms of those who claim lack of privacy, which has led the discussion to the judicial arena, the Minister Marcio Fortes says there will be two options: the tracker and blocker. This will make the car stop in a given situation, for example if the thief stops at traffic lights, and will be mandatory. In the other hand, the GPS tracker will be contracted or not by the user.​

The implications of this? Imagine this in the hands of a corrupt and totalitarian government, which decides to label as terrorists those who disagree with its actions? Brazilian should unite and reject this law, modeled on the American war on terror, using security as pretext for the removal of our freedoms and privacy.

I had read some time ago in Portugal that the cars would be required to have RFID chip (radio frequency) identification and was stunned by that. What was my surprise to learn that since 2006 we have a law that creates the Siniav, or National System for Automatic Vehicle Identification, which will require the installation of identification chips in all cars and maintain a network of reading antennas, which will identify every vehicle.

Resolution of No 212 of 13 November 2006, says:

SINIAV consists of electronic boards installed in the vehicle, antennas, readers, data processing centers and computer systems.​

And goes on saing that militar vehicles are not required to use but all other motor vehicles will have to be equipped with the chip:

§ 2 The use of military vehicles are exempt from this requirement.

Article 2 No motor vehicle, electrical, trailer and semi-trailer can be licensed on roads open to traffic without being equipped with the electronic board of this resolution.​

The full resolution can be downloaded here.

According to the engineer Dario Thorbe, data is encrypted and confidential, and will be accessible only the traffic department and eventually the police. Ahhhhh, ok then, now I feel so safe!

Again the state using the pretext of security for the people to accept totalitarian measures. Gradually we are seeing around us the government, putting in place tools that will allow a micro-managing the lives of all citizens. Close to what we have at some time in Brazil, 1984 will be pretty easy.

Apologies for this small mistake:

“This means that the brazilian government can access the location of any car registered in any country!”

the correct should had been:

“This means that the brazilian government can access the location of any car registered in the country!”

They wanted to do the same thing in Boulder, CO. They wanted cars to have a tracking device placed on them to track the number of times the car was used and when, and how often, it left its street.

They already place RFID chips inside of tires in the U.S.
 
hey, what's the range of RFID? oh, right.

meh, rfid is easily blocked with a little alu foil.
That reminds me....now where did I put that hat?

for tire....you probably just need a little paint...made in china of of coarse. :D

The tough part is finding out they are where they are.

I think it is 60 feet. They could make the range wider. You are like a prisoner who is shackled but says: "this is nothing, my chains are miles long!".

What is the threshold for you, minks?

Not everyone does it, only some manufactures.
 
any idea what the RFID is for on tires? (might help to have some idea what you're talking about next time.)

Depends on the type. Most RFID works off induction, which requires close proximity (inches, not feet).

If it was a 60' range, key-access doors would be worthless.
 
Most RFID have problems being encased in metals...they also lose a LOT of range attempting to read them 'edge on' - that is, not being immediately parallel to the chip with your reader.

Being in a car..I'd put the best effective range at 10' for RFID...which means that if you can spit on it, you can read the chip - maybe. You might also be reading the chip of the car behind it, or next to it etc..

It's pounding on the paranoia drums time again?

The 10' number would be pretty close, but its highly directional to gain the range and avoid the misreading.

There's some good attempts at providing correct info here, but a few holes. To trigger an RFID tag, the initial signal has to be close. But the reply from the RFID can be read from up to 250' away. That's the problem with my british passport. Anyone sitting nearby with a laptop and an antenna sufficiently large and pointed towards the customs desk can receive the broadcast from my passport the moment the clerk activates his reader. Also, the chip itself doesn't have to be exposed .... it's antenna does. Have you seen external antennas on many new cars? They don't even have the wires embedded into the windshield any more ... they use a conductive transparent film. No real challenge to tap that. No real challenge to clone it either.

Never heard of a distance like that, at least with passive tags anyway. I'm no expert, but wouldn't an activated card with a range like that cause havoc in something like a warehouse or customs desk with multiple terminals or other multiple-reader situation (even the front counter at a McD's has readers at every cash register)? Nearly every door in the building would unlock once an enrolled keycard was powered up, wouldn't they?
