Government's business? NO.
But these boxes will slow down lawsuits from greedy plaintffs who injure themselves while driving recklessly. When these folks try to claim they were going "about the speed limit", we will be able to do more than just roll our eyes and sigh.
I have to get to work so I'll try give a quick example:
About six-seven years ago there was a guy who was driving a Chevy Blazer, had an accident, rolled over, door opened, he was thrown out and injured, sued G.M. and was awarded something like $35 million.However, the guy was DRUNK - as he was CONVICTED of DUI at the time, he also admitted in court he was not wearing his seat belt AND also admitted he didn't have the door locked. The JURY still found G.M. at fault!
G.M. naturally appealed and I don't know that outcome. But the point is NOTHING will stop idiot juries from giving some other idiot a big sack of money. I don't even think tort reform would apply/help here. Only having JUDGES that won't let stuff like this see the light of day will help.
There is NO excuse to infringe on EVERYONE'S freedoms to catch a few law-twisters.
Let's not swallow that pap
