Imagine the potential for abuse, including political opponents!
Can’t wait till they come out to install one in my 72 Buick. Good opportunity to laugh like h3ll.
I’d be OK with this if we also got to attach them to all government employees and elected officials so we can know what they are up to at all times.
I wanna black box on my congresscritters “Re-election Fund” bank account....so I can see who’s doin’ the buyin’...and for how much.
This device will be powered by electricity, will it not?
And that electricity will be supplied by a wire, and the current that passes through that wire will also pass through a fuse, right? Or has the government found a way around that little inconvenience as well?
Will non-replacement of that fuse, if it should happen to blow out, become a federal offense?

Oh Lord, please save us from the Black Box, Congress and ourselves!
Everyone, please get on your phones right now and call your congressional representatives office (Washington) make sure you tell your representative that you are sick to death of this latest abridgment of our constitutional rights and FULLY expect him/her to vote NO! This is just more intrusion into our private lives, more conditioning. (House switchboard is 202-224-3121)
I dont know about you, but, Im 62 years old and have earned the right to be left to my own devices. I told my representative to vote NO! I’m going to rip the box out of any car I purchased then you can come get me!
You may want to ask him/her, if he/she votes for this how is he/she any different than Barack Obama?
Enjoy your new cars.....suckers!
Methinks this is the last bastion of travel freedom. I experience such freedom on my mini bike tours (2-3 hrs). Pack up some ice/water/snacks and hit the road. No cell phone, no iPod. Very freeing.
