People who drive cars have no clue to what truck drivers and trucking companies have been putting up with for years already. QUAL-COMM is a GPS like system installed in every truck by companies who have a certain number of trucks in their fleet. This system monitors everything from the speed of the truck to what the rpms of the truck's engine is, to where to the truck is at all times, to when the truck stopped last and where, etc........ For years truckers have been under the watchful eye of Big Brother. Did you know in some areas, truckers can get speeding tickets without ever seeing a police officer?? All the officer has to do is either hook up to the truck's system with his own system or go to the company and check their system. Fines sent by the mail, what a concept. The photo taking devices set up at stoplights for people who run lights is another Big Brother system. Finally, the people who drive cars are getting a taste of the crap a truck driver has been eating all these years. Get used of it everyone, it will only get worse.

"Get used of it everyone, it will only get worse."

Friggin loser attitude that.

Of course this thing can be fought and bested.

And don't forget the power company meter reader who has to wear the GPS satellite backpack that tracks his every step...however long that lasts.

My neighborhood was recently changed over to the new digital broadcast meters and the data is now collected by simply driving down the street.

There seem to be a lot of truckers on I-95 who are not a bit concerned about this. Either that or the police have a policy of not giving tickets unless the trucker is going 15+ mph over the speed limit. I understand that truckers are under time pressures, but a few of them literally throw their weight around at very high speeds.

Ok, here's what we do. We take up a collection from interested parties that are opposed to satellite surveillance. We build a gigwatt EMP transmitter and zap the satellite. Problem solved. No wait, that's illegal isn't it? My bad.
