Currently we have RFID subdermal implants which can be used with GPS to track an individual, pet or allow a patron of a bar or nightclub access without waiting in line.

There is also a group in Washington DC, which is an electronic privacy group, which decries the advances of such technologies. Thus this appears to be the excellent makings of a really good plot with political intrigue, mind control and police mystery all wrapped up in one. We will certainly see such genres in the near future from the top science fiction writers in the World.
