i will do my American duty and demand blackbox free cars before i ever buy a new car for the rest of my life

[yunvmyegt]

this just goes with these dumb ideas of scanning peoples cell phones at traffic stops, incase anyone missed that one...

[FE3-323]

they wont' be watching me 1990 all day every day. this breaks alot of constitutional points, go figure 90% of the population isn't aware.

new cars = IDGAF

[Raider9864]

All a bunch of horse ****!!! I like how they say the gov't will be able to go back and issue citations for seat belt violations and excessive speeds. Shouldn't the gov't be more concerned with increasing jobs, decreasing illegals and militia's that probably want to be-head all of them? The government has gotten way too big and its only a matter of time before the people step up and do something about it.

On top of all of this...possibly adding taxes to the amount of miles we drive our cars? Are you ****ing kidding me? Really gov't REALLY?? Why are they so concerned with what we do, but their own are the ones royally ****ing this country over to begin with...but of course its always the people that have to pay for these assholes ****-ups.

Sorry for the excessive foul language I am just really pissed off right now. I might get a ticket in the mail from the gov't...25 cents for each cuss word used....jerkoffs!!

[MD323]

then DO something about it..

rally support and then send petitions to your elected officials and tell them that

A: you wont buy any new cars

B: you wont be re-electing them

gheeyyyy

[norwood1026]

Good thing I am broke & can't aford a new car!

[bcowie]

America is turning into a surveillance society.

[bomdoutscort]

I bet if noone buys the cars because of it the auto market will petition congress to remove them because of poor sales.

[1st Gen]

There's a big o long thread about this on the local forum. I might read it if I can stomach the usual flat heads.

With more people comes more accountability. I don't like it one bit but I have a hard time seeing the alternative being anything but chaos. Of course I'm talking long term. Short term, it just seems like a few people with authority being a little too busy.

Lol, how about an ad for car insurance every time you turn the key?

Time to decide if you wanna be a sheep or a man, y'all. Being a sheep is less risky but I refuse this intrusive tyranny. It's one thing to use the last few seconds of telemetry before the crash to find out what really happened and quite another to use it as a revenue stream and slave yoke. They can kiss my ass.

...quite another to use it as a revenue stream and slave yoke. They can kiss my ass.

Obviously I agree with the latter... that goes without saying for everyone, for the former I appreciate some of the uses... I dont like having a v8 that I fill up at LEAST once a week paying into the taxes to keep the roads maintained... meanwhile some bugger eating homo in a prius next to me gets to drive 600 miles on a 12 gallon tank, meanwhile they are the ones driving to hell and back putting tons of miles on the roads and USUALLY they are also the ones driving with their studded tires on the first day they are allowed and taking them off the last day they are. This way people would pay for how much they use the road and not based on the fact that a V8 suv fits my needs better than a prius so now I get to pay for all the road maintainence for fairy over here in the prius.

I do also like the knowing that if goober the destroyer the 18 yr old dropout living on the other side of town (the rich side) decides to take daddys 2013 slk out for a spin and spins it right into my lane doing 90 miles an hour in a neighborhood I have more than just measurements of skidding to deturmine how wreckless he was so rich boys daddys lawyers cannot argue measurements and weather conditions for "miscalculations" in court, I have a box saying nope, moron was doing 93mph actually. Anything beyond accident information I am against, the day a cop can walk up to my car and plug a tool into the DLC and see how fast I have been driving and cite me on his findings will be the day I start riding an effing bicycle.

Becides, If I am doing something crazy wreckless and crash I deserve to be punished for my actions... not having my punishment deturmined by my ability to pay for a good lawyer (aka "The American Way"). sorry for being moral and ethical

Constitution, didn't we forget about that in 2004 with the patriot act? It's only inevitable, at least we didn't make the huge mistakes England did and put in thousands of camera's that we can't afford. Not that I will ever buy a new enough car to have one. I am definitely with Jay, forget the sheep and man up. They can kiss my shiny metal ass as well!
