From the time you are born, your very birth is documented by the state with a birth certificate. Shortly thereafter, the state assigns you a citizen tracking number (commonly called a Social Security Number). Years later, you are given another state tracking number called a "Driver's License," which then tracks any vehicles you own via registration and a license plate. Every year, you are compelled to file where you work, and how much money you made. Until you finally die, when the state certifies it with a death certificate.

This doesn't include a single shred of digital tracking they also do, and yet even excluding the digital tracking, I cannot say that the above is indicative of a free society. And you can't either, no matter how badly you may want to.

From cradle to grave, the state monitors your existence with mass surveillance tools, and has done so since before technology made it MUCH easier for them to do so.
