Who cares if they're tracking you? I'm a regular joe-schmoe with nothing to hide…so why would I care if they watch me?

Cars can't be tracked that much? not where you live perhaps but here in the UK it's a different story. ANPR on every On/Off ramp of the motorway network, them little grey boxes at the side of the road every 500 or so yards with Laser Radiation warning labels all over them ...... tracked? not much

put it in for like even 10 seconds, it will pop the rfid chip. And I guarantee there's one in your DL and that you're probably unaware it's there to track you.

From an RFID perspective that's true. But every time you use a credit or debit card, a record is made of when, where, and how much. And in some cases the contents of the purchases can be tracked using the same methodology.
In the US we have cop cars that are constantly vacuuming up license plate data and storing that information.
And cell phones, especially smartphones, are constantly leaking data about your activities.

How do you feel about your DL having an RFID chip in it tracking your every move???
I feel fine.
Have you ever put your DL in the microwave? n pop it?
Why would any sane individual put their DL in the microwave?
Yes, I'm okay with it. More importantly, why are you so secretive?
Do you even know you're being tracked? And are you okay with that???

Yeah, there is no realistic range limit to rfid tech. The range is set by the power of the reciever. It is the reason a toll reader can scan a tiny rfid chip driving by at 300 mph.
This same tech is in ids, passports, all new 20,50,100 bills(maybe more).
