Constant creep of government intrusion.Insurance co's are also pushing this crap. Look at Progresive and that little do dad you plug in your cigarette lighter so they can observe your driving.
It's voluntary now but will become mandatory within a few years by all the carriers.

My God, help us!
When does the tyranny end? The endless intrusion on freedom?
The only solution is going to be civil war. They will never, never, never stop until they are made to do so.

We now have 40 cameras at road intersections in my hometown. Bringing in money like crazy.
Preventing accidents?? They say it's too soon to tell....BALONEY....

Democrat Boxes that will be used not simply to collect accident data, but also destinations and conversations of those who may oppose the Democratic PartyIf these are Democrat boxes, why is this going to sail through the Republican House?

Gotta be a way to disable! Leave it up to American ingenuity. Certainly there would be.
The cars location and speed will most likely be calculated using GPS.
It would be easy to defeat such a device by covering the antenna with aluminum foil.
But you can bet that such tampering will be a felony as defined in the bill.
Removing it after an accident would be tampering with evidence.

A 2007 S80 alm,ost certainly has an event data recorder. It is mentioned in the Owner’s manual. Section 6.
http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2007/2007_s80/07s80_00.htm
It’s sometimes difficult to tell whether a car has one or not. NHTSA began to talk about mandating them in around 2003, and mfgs began installing them around then. By about 2005, they were becoming common. By about 2010, they were almost universal.
The mandated date was originally in 2010, then changed to 2012, for EDRs.
My 2008 Jeep specifically says it has one in the owner’s manual.

I’d rather pay the price than have big brother tracking me.
To: RummyChick
I think there may be more electric cars( with gas engine back up)being purchased and disconnect the electrical wires so the ref in the booth thinks you’re still at home waiting for your welfare check.
Or (as in the movie where Sarah Bullock drove a bus all over the city), someone figures a way to loop the data being sent to ‘’HAL’’ and confuses the hell out of it

Having cameras at intersections is one thing. Can you imagine being forced to have one in your car, like in this clip from a
Bait Car episode?

I just love when it says...cleared the Senate and is expected to do the same in the house.
Wait a cotton pickin minute....isn't the house majority, Republican?
Why the Republicans wouldn't advocate policy that strips Americans of their freedoms and liberty would they?

Baucus (D), Inhofe (R) and Vitter (R) were the sponsors of this Bill.
Just some good ole Republicans and a Leftist looking out for you.
