How can the police lawfully download information from my cars computer without first receiving my consent or serving me with a signed court order.

I'm no lawyer but my guess is that crashing a car and causing property damage and/or death and/or injuries would pass the test for probable cause.

This is another reason why government wants to get the old cars off the road. My mid-50s MG is not equipped with a Sensing Diagnostic Module and I'm not planning to install one.

If you were the driver that wreaked the havoc described in this post, you would probably not be alive to object to a cop or insurance company downloading the data, nor would you have mine or the general populations' sympathy either.
