According to the Census of 2014, there are over 203,000 individuals  who  are blind or visually impaired. I am sure many of them will tell you they do not feel like criminals. If you do not want to be tracked or register for anything, better get rid of your laptop and phone because they are coming for you.James Alan Boehm
