I wouldn't mind a black box being used if there was an accident in contention or someone was injured.

Up to now,in some states, this has been a point the courts have been looking into. Who/whom has the right to download this data???? The ECM belongs to the owner of the car as it is part of the car, can law enforcement just go in and retrieve the data without a search warrant????? Can the owner refuse law enforcement access to this data????
Lots of legal questions, lots of opinions........
The data has been retrieved by law enforcement personnel in serious accidents involving fatalities to help find out what really happened and as a result people were found guilty of serious crimes and went to jail, now they are suing becasue they claim they "own" that data and others have no right to it.........It's a legal nightmare and will not be quickly or easily resovled.......
