So why then, should businesses be forced to keep a log of their customers? It seems redundant with the credit card info and phone ping triangulation already making tracking us so easy.
Because with or without GPS, it isn't accurate enough to know if you were in the store or drove past it from 20 feet away. Not to mention to get credit card or phone tracking data, those providers would require a court order. This sheet isn't that complicated and the government doesn't give enough of a sheet what gavinj from SaintsReport does to bother tracking your movement under normal circumstances.
I repeat: THIS IS FOR HOSPITALS. NOT THE GOVERNMENT. STOP BEING PARANOID. YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT.
