Despite what some of the almost criminally irresponsible "I didn't do it and you can't prove anything!" Republicans here say, this is a good thing.

The more facts you have in an accident, especially one involving death, the more likely you are to have justice done. And justice is more important than privacy.

Far from being used to always convict drivers, I believe black box evidence will also exonerate the innocent in the same way that DNA evidence does (also objected to by some privacy advocates).

I think I agree with that, but I'd have to think about it more before I could say it always applys.
One concern I have is the extension of recorded data from 5 sec. to who knows what limit. Memory is getting cheaper & smaller and when it becomes possible to keep a weeks worth of data they'll do it. Then I question whether anyone has a right to track me over the past week just to see what I've been up to.

disagree privacy is more important than justice. Without privacy you have no freedom. Without justice you still have freedom. So which is more important freedom or justice.

That's "Constitutionalist" to you, pal.

Somehow I just can't see the Founding Fathers signing off on something like this...
