I wouldn't care if it was on my vehicle as I have nothing to hide.

Of course not comrade.

You will make a very fine serf.

Yet this kind of stuff keeps being decided, without any outcry from anyone.

Bad things happen when good men do nothing.

The sheeple are asleep and we have the so called government "protecting us".

They should start looking over their shoulders, time is coming that these people will have to face a very disgruntled public. It will make the Civil war look like childs play.

"Actually, driving is a privilege, not a right. Don't like the box, don't drive."

Sometimes an accident is just an accident, with no need for criminal charges or liability. So what will law enforcement do if two 1980 cars have an accident...maybe go back to good ole police work. BTW the data from the black boxes is downloaded and distributed "without" a warrent to the insurance companies.

That is crazy. I had never even thought of them doing that. It also occurs to me that the government or the police could do this even if the vehicle had long been paid for. I think I will stick to older vehicles. If you could figure out where the antenna was then you could short it to ground and that would probably disable satellite access.
