Luckily, at the moment, it requires a certain amount of cooperstion from the pill taker (wearing the patch, carryjng a smartphone) and, therefore, tacit agreement. Making it a codition of freely going about in society sort of puts it in the same bracket as electronic shackles and telephone curfew or probation systems. Though in the case of shackles/probation one has to have previously committed a crime, not merely be considered at possible risk to oneself and others without medication.
I could be considered "at risk to myself and others" should I stop taking certain of my cardiac medications and vontinue to dtive, I would be in danger of collapse, if only temporarily due to my implant in the best case, due to ventricular tachycardia. But I am not liable to stop taking the pill!
Worst case is, expanding on what I said before, the phone gets surgically implanted, programmed to alert if no medication taken within one hour, say, of the expected time. But this by court order, no cooperation needed.
