Innocent Little Black Box

External Link
November 11, 2004 5:17:26 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
a recent ruling by the National Transportation Safety Board to require electronic data recorders or "black boxes" in all new cars manufactured in the United States. Owners also have no legal protections to keep them from being forced to hand over that information to another party if a court order demanded it.<




Call me crazy, but I am not going to buy another American made car as long as this practice is in place. I don't want anyone knowing when I use my brakes, seatbelt, how fast I am going, or where I am going. I just find it an invasion of privacy.

These boxes have already been used for "good" purposes like determining who is at fault during an accident, fraudulent insurance claims, and hunting criminals (i.e. Scott Peterson, lol). But do the costs outweigh the benefits?

What is next? Microchips under our skin? "Inventory chips" that never get deactivated after purchase from mass retailers?

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you!

All of your ideas have been in process for awhile actually Chips under the skin have been happening in the military, as well as too animals for quite awhile.

This black box is just another "Uncle Sam is watching you" tool. Paranoia...yeah...I'm paranoid, but too exhausted from work to care. Wait a minute... that seems like another conspiracy!

Yes, I know this, but will there be a ruling soon to make them mandatory for all Americans? That was the point. I know my ideas are not original. I used to be a store manager for Wal*Mart.

They'll be mandatory in the next 20 years. I promise.... it's the panic from "1984" all over again.
