My '96 is clean of all such devices

What next ? A GPS chip on firearms... Why the hell not if they can do this

Thats not that far fetched as they do offer parents options to chip their kids at birth and even chipping your pets. Even medical info in a chip inserted under your skin. Right now its just an option. Who knows if it will be mandated sooner or later.

Its for your own good people in case your kid or pet gets kidnaped or you are unconsious and cant tell the doctor what your medical history is etc. So if you are the tin foil hat type that will go off the grid, throw away your phone, easy pass etc so you cant be tracked by Big Brother then dont forget to ditch your chipped kids and pets and your right arm too lol.

I see a black market for underground chip-removal services opening up, in about a hundred years. Get in on it early!

What's the fine in California Vic, $351? Are you really willing to give up freedom and privacy for the possibility of getting out of a $351 ticket? The black box probably wouldn't help anyway, the system wants you to pay $1000 for a lawyer, THEN the judge will dismiss the case.

Yeah, the fine is up around there somewhere. So keep your freedom, and pay a fine now and then, eh? Not a bad idea...

If I had a dash cam, and I made a mistake, I'd just pull the sim card and "86" it!

Maybe they will have black boxes that will intiate the mailing of automatic traffic tickets, then it will also ring up a lawyer right away, and connect him to your smart phone. Lawyers could pay a fee to have their contact info placed onto the black box, which would help raise money for strapped municipalities.

I gots sooo many good ideas, I should work for the gubmint.

Disturbing. It's like they look for a freedom and purposely move towards eliminating it. "Bipartisan politics", otherwise known as "single party politics." *** is wrong with people that they don't care about freedom?

I'm writing my congressman as we speak to let him know that I will vote for Ron Paul if this passes. That should put the fear of God in him... Me too quite frankly

... And Progressive has that monitor you plug into your OBD II port, and if you're a good, safe little driver, they give you reduced rates.

I'm curious to know who'd be foolish enough to think that Progressive's "monitor" is a good idea. I don't care if the insurance is free, I don't want them to know where I'm going, when I'm going, etc. And how does Progressive define "safe driving"?

"Progress"ively stealing our freedom defines safe driving as:

I just got a call back from my congressman's admin and she assured me that Scott Garrett does not support MAP-21.

And who are the manufacturers of these invasive devices?

HK Qiangle Technology Co., Limited (China)
IJ INC. (Korea)
Kai Lap Technologies Group Ltd (Hong Kong)
Geocross Co., Ltd (Korea)
Inter-Kor 2, Inc (Korea)
Eyecar Networks (Korea)

I found at least two dozen more, ALL of which were made in Korea or China.

Follow the money. Whichever ones win the auto contracts will be the ones that donated money to the democrats and republicrats of our one-party political system. This is how you do business in America - come up with some POS product and lobby our oppressive government to mandate everybody must have it.

Our forefathers are spinning in their graves.

Looks like the 2014 Viper will be the one to buy!

I think the insurance industry has a lot to do with this stuff, too. They love laws that reduce our freedoms, and reduce their liabilities.

I think their lobby influences everything from mandatory motorcycle helmets, to rediculously low speed limits, to black box recorders, and radar units. What? Radar units? Uhm, hum, radar units. Gieco donates Xa band radar guns to municipalities that can't afford them.

Don't use Geico, they're evil.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Don't use Geico, they're evil.

They're all evil Vic. Mandatory insurance has reduced the percentage of uninsured motorists from 30% to 25%. Big deal. A 5% improvement isn't enough for me to give up my freedom of choice. Meanwhile insurance rates continue to skyrocket and of course, the insurance companies find something to blame it on like false reports or some other bs. We are a socialist country. What the government doesn't steal from us we are forced to give to businesses. When 60% of people's paychecks go towards taxes and insurance they are no longer living in a capitalist country.

 

[Vic]

Yeah, that is becoming increasingly clear, every day. The more I think about it, our government is already, and is becoming too big for it's britches.

The Boston Tea Party was held over a 0.5% tax dispute, that's all it took to incite general outrage among free men. Now many of us pay like 33% combined fed-state taxes, but still we tolerate it. And why, because we think we are represented? Hah hah, that's a funny notion. We the taxpayers bail out the banksters to the tune of hundreds of billions, (the TARP bailout plan wasn't even written by Congress, it was written by Apollos, a banking concern. Congress is merely the 'signers"), And from the TARP funds, (our money) major banks and ins co's have paid themselves huge bonuses to reward themselves for their ineptness and greed. But still there is no political will to stop the slaughter of our freedom, and the **** of the Republic. Every politician is on the gravy-train.

Somehow, I still have a good life. And I count that a blessing.
