"Cairo and Thayer acknowledge that the use of the black boxes by accident investigators raises questions about privacy."

Look where this is leading to in the future.

Mr. Hotshot Highway Patrolman-type-trooper pulls up to your rear bumper or blind spot as you're going down the freeway. He pulls out his tv remote-type gizmo and aims it at your SAE, IEEE standard, federally-mandated sensor-transmitter located in the standard location on the rear of your car. He presses the button and instantly receives all the data on seat belts, locations, times, speeds along certain roads, stop signs and red lights run etc.

Anything out of kilter is instantly computer-analysed (computers don't lie, you know) and if a ticketable offense shows up, you are screwed.

If your sensor-transmitter is disabled, you're arrested, car towed, and you ride back to the big house in cuffs.

Remember, I warned you about it first.
