I think it has something to do with an Orwelian world. What of the rest of
us who are responsible drivers and have had a "perfect" driving record for
over a million miles. Do we really *need* Big Brother watching our every
step ?
I know the obvious misuse of this technology is not something that has
escaped you. You know, stop at the next sevice plaza and have the DOT check
your black box to see if you have been anywhere hear over the speed limit
and then repirting you to your insurance company ? Or better still, spot
checks on city streets.
Why bother tryin to set up radar traps when you have one conveniently in
your vehicle ? Immagine the savings in man hours (not) Isn't this sort of
infringement exactly what a totalitarian world consist of ? But then, there
are some who actually see the good in Patriot 1 and 2, go figure. After all
Papa governement is alwasy benign and would never ever think of using
technology to do us any harm woyuld they, said he with great gesticulatory
sarcasm. The problem isn't so much the protection of the innocent as it is
an infrigement on every one else, not a liscence but an "I spy" in your
glove box.
Drunk driving in some orient countries is only a first time offence (or used
to be) as they hang you for it. I believe it was the Philipines, but I could
be wrong on that.I did however read it some years ago and it was in that
neck of the woods. Concerned about criminal activity on the roads? Make the
penalty not worth the offence and you won't need spy boxes in every car.

Greg, can I ask why?
What if someone ran into you doing 100MPH. Would you want justice to be
done (would your family?)
Forcing people to be responsible for their irresponsibility is refreshing
to me.

Your car is most likely recording things about your driving and that
information can be used against you if you have a traffic accident.
Most people don't know their car has a black box. They are similar to
ones
in airplanes, although they don't record voices, but they do record
plenty
of other things that happen before a crash.
