Big Brother will be Watching

It's a good thing. Vehicles are the most lethal item most Americans use every day. The least we can do is have accurate data about the use of them. It beats the heck out of eyewitnesses.

Traffic fatalities per year - 40,000
Airplane fatalities per year - 1000

If you want privacy;

Use cash - they monitor your every purchase for habits
Turn your cell phone off. They can track your position with some accuracy by triangulating your signal from the towers, in or out of your car.

Turn your computer off. They know every website you visit.

And put tape over your computer camera and break the microphone.

No, it isn't. Name one instance where government monitoring of private citizens going about their lives has urned out to be good for the citizens. The only reason the gov't wants to moniter you is so they can control you.

They ought to put black boxes on people that smoke before they do cars!

In the United States, tobacco use is responsible for about one in five deaths annually (i.e., about 443,000 deaths per year, and an estimated 49,000 of these tobacco-related deaths are the result of secondhand smoke exposure).

Alcohol related deaths are greater than vehicle deaths, black box?

Alcohol linked to 75,000 U.S. deaths a year - Health - Addictions - msnbc.com

These are official statistics meaning that it is 5 times more dangerous in home than being on the road. So, if officials want to take care about our safety, they have to watch what is going on inside our homes!!
