Sure, watch their every move, get them really used to being watched at all times, and then in ten years come here and wonder why they all vote for big brother socialism and don't value freedom. Heck, a large percentage of them already think the government ought to have to approve every newspaper article. Ever wonder how that happened?

Again, you confuse a legitimate use of surveillance on a minor child by his parents (legally responsible for that child, and also the owner of the vehicle) to one where the state uses to abuse and oppress the vast majority of society. They aren't the same. You need to understand the difference.

If this would have been an article of teens run amok because parents can't control them and don't know what their kids are up to, many of you against this would be calling for child monitoring and sterilization of the parents. I've seen it in other posts here on deadbeat parents. If you're a parent and disconnected from your kid, you suck. If you try to monitor what your kid is up to using the latest technology, you suck too.

There is nothing 'unfair' about this. The kid is lying to the parents' face.

There are many pro Big Brother types here who believe in the government running peoples' live.

Monitoring you child like this is the same as saying to them:

I am a lazy parent.

I do not trust you to tell the truth because you are an irresponsible, unaccountable little creature, incapable of making right decisions and for your actions and you cannot tell the truth..

And I do not trust you to tell the truth.

When you are not in the car, you will wear a convict's dog collar so we can track you on foot, because you are a sneaky little bastard who cannot tell the truth.
