What's the word. Any truth to any of this?
Would you have thought twenty years ago that your personal car would have a black box that can be used against you in a court of law?
Or seatbelt interlocks? Or non-tamper fuel systems? Or vehicle pollution control based on visual inspection instead of just tail pipe sniffing?
Would you have thought twenty years ago that a motorcycle rider could be required to wear a helmet? Or you could be ticketed for not using your car's seat belt?
Would you have thought twenty years ago that you could be strip searched just because you wanted to board an airplane?
Would you have thought twenty years ago that you could be stopped at random on your city streets by law enforcement seeking drivers under the influence?
In recent years, Northern California law enforcement entered private property and attached a tracker to an automobile, without any warrants. This enabled the tracking of the vehicle's owner, leading to his illegal 'herb' growing location and his arrest. Appeal court upheld the warrantless use of the tracker.
And haven't you been reading the newspapers lately about the warrantless wiretapping of USA citizens by their own government?
If 'they' want to force vehicles to have GPS tracking, interlock to low air pressure sensors or anything else - they will; and there isn't much you'll be able to do about it, either.
