Big brother in your car

A push for mandatory data recorders in cars

    So what you are saying is that:
    I can’t require welfare recipients to take a drug test to get a welfare check, because that violates their privacy.
    I can’t ask a person to prove that they are an American citizen in order to vote, because that would violate their privacy.
    But mandating that I carry a recording device around in my car, so the government can monitor my movement doesn’t?
    I’m guessing that the first time this device is used to catch a person smuggling illegals across the border, the left will oppose this.

    These Event Data Recorders have been around for a billion years. My 96 Saturn had one. I’m pretty sure every GM vehicle made since ’95 does. I can’t get worked up about this.

    What does get me worked up is when prosecutors ignore black box data when it doesn’t match their indictments.

    How does this make me more secure in my papers and person?

  4. mikee Says:

    Can we make them a 30 minute loop that erases unless an airbag deploys? Sort of like an airliner black box?

  5. wizardpc Says:

    mikee: that’s how they’ve been so far. Cheaper storage has meant storing MORE data, not storing data LONGER.

  6. Motor-T Says:

    The government needs a warrant to record you. But they don’t need a warrant to force you to record yourself.

  7. Druid Says:

    Tech proxie violation of the third amendment.

    Hmm… nice data recorder you have there… be a shame if… something happened to it. Really officer? The recorder was broken? I had no idea!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
