I am sorry...but a privately owned dealership should not have to subject themselves to this disclaimer either.
The government put out/up the credit for a dang clunker of a car. A bleepin’, flippin’, run into the ground CAR.
Access to the rest of the dealership information is unreasonable. I am tired of everyone saying that if you deal with the government expect to be ...XXXX.
It is ALL simply wrong.
That doesn’t make it ok.
I agree, but the panic (if you just go to this website...) was unwarrented. Like many EULA’s on software, I doubt that anything in the disclaimer would hold up in court for the reason that it is not something you are agreeing to.
But it is written poorly by someone who doesn’t understand protected Constitutional rights at all.
You are powned...
I can’t watch this video due to a computer problem with my media, but it looks like the one I saw from way they are dressed, it’s from U Tube:

Ensuring transaction security is a crucial requirement of NHTSA-CARS clients. Using industry-standard security techniques ensures that your personal and financial information remains confidential. NHTSA-CARS uses security technologies that include your personal customer number and password, government standard encryption, and hardened perimeter protections such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The combination of your customer number and password enables you to be uniquely identified to NHTSA-CARS transaction processing. It is your responsibility to keep your password secure. Compromising your password by sharing it with others can have negative consequences for the integrity of your transactions. You will also need to use a secure browser. Certain browsers have the ability to communicate securely by encrypting the information as it passes across the Internet. This method of communication is called Secure Socket Layer (SSL). NHTSA requires the use of a properly configured browser as a condition for connecting to NHTSA-CARS using SSL. Therefore, SSL must be enabled on your browser to establish a connection with NHTSA-CARS. Additionally, be aware that your transaction passes through multiple security mechanisms, any one of which can halt the transaction if suspicious activity coming from your computer is detected. To avoid this from happening, please keep your anti-virus software on your computer current. Your Internet Browser - How to Ensure That Your Session is Secure Once you've downloaded and installed your browser, here's how you can check for yourself that your Online Banking session is secure. As you browse through the resources available on the Internet, you'll notice that your browser's status bar changes with the Web page you have loaded. You should see a padlock graphic, either locked or unlocked, like this: Secure UnSecure Microsoft Internet Explorer N/A Mozilla Firefox"

Looks like I’m back to getting the old truck running.
Thanks.
I was too mad when I saw this to do a proper post.
Here is the text of what Glen showed.
“This application provides access to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a Federal computer system and is the property of the U.S. Government.
Any or all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected, and disclosed...
to authorized CARS, DoT, and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign.”
Digital Angel, the implanted computer chip, sure could make sharing health care records and the worlds wealth a lot easier.
Coming soon to a Government Health Care Center near you.
Most likely for dealers only.
Most smart dealers would buy a cheap PC soley for the purpose of submitting these applications and nothing else (just like the local repair shops and their DMV inspection pc’s). The govt. is looking for the scam artist dealers who will no doubtedly try to play the system by using info stored on their computers to generate bogus applications for payment.
Right at the very beginning of the video of Beck, listen closely, he clearly says log onto the “dealer”
Those of us who missed the live show or repeat and had only the Utube to go by didn’t get the entire report.
So why give access to these computers to FORIGN governments?
How much access to they have to other U.S. programs already?
See 132 for how to get to the dealer login with the wording that sent Beck into the stratosphere.
I hope that when he posts on his own website, he includes way more info than was in the video. Post 132 gives all the steps and results.
Well, I suppose if an investigation leads to a computer based outside the U.S., they would need the cooperation of the host country.
