I am truly sorry for your troubles with your court case. It goes to show that a little help from an electronic surveillance device can go a long way in *helping* those that are in the right.

That said, I'm intrigued by your opening story where a *Ford's* device helped a case involving two lying police officers.

The posted article had one of Ford's mouthpieces stating that his company would *never* "spy" on their customers. Truly a sparkling testimonial to make GM look bad when all the while he was lying through his teeth.

Priceless.

I have posted about this before. The cars were Ford Crown Vics that were being used as police cars. Two policemen (in two different Crown Vics) were racing to a non-critical call. They collided. One said that the car went dead on him as he was coming up to the stoplight. The other one backed him up.

Turns out (from the black box) that the car was working perfectly. One guy ran a red light when it was policy NOT to do so with that type of call. The other guy backed him in the lie. They challenged the accuracy of the black box, but lost. Both were suspended for three days. Both appealed to the Personnel Board that this was "excessive", but were overruled.

Perhaps Ford only does this on Police Cars, but I would doubt it.
