July 6, 2022: Starting Today All New Vehicles in the EU Will Have Surveillance Black Boxes
Posted by freedomforall 1 year, 9 months ago to Government
"Back in 2019, the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) announced that July 6 would mark the day when all car manufacturers would be forced to fit new models with a system that keeps track of technical data.
The data recorded will include “the vehicle’s speed, braking, steering wheel angle, its incline on the road, and whether the vehicle’s various safety systems were in operation, starting with seatbelts.”
Although insurance companies won’t have immediate access to the data, it will be available to law enforcement.
Authorities claim the data will be “anonymized,” meaning the information can’t be used to identify the owner of the vehicle, although only the incredibly naive would plausibly believe that.
Such systems are expected to eventually include speed-limiting technology.
As Reclaim the Net’s Didi Rankovic explains, the most common method of speed limiting technology is Intelligent Speed Assistant (ISA).
“ISA works using GPS data alone, cameras for traffic sign recognition fitted to the front of the car, or a combination of the two. A speed limiter affects the engine power and in that way decreases speed.”
“Like the name suggests, speed limiters are designed to prevent drivers from exceeding certain speed limits, and prompt them via audio, visual, and haptic warnings until they “obey” and slow down.”
For decades, governments have been pushing for all cars to be fitted with black boxes that track location data.
The ultimate dystopian scenario involves giving police the power to utilize similar technology to completely disable the functioning of a vehicle if the driver is deemed to have committed an infraction.
This doesn’t need to be a criminal offense, if the pursuit of social credit score schemes continues to become more invasive, it would eventually be used as a form of punishment for everything from unpaid utility bills to offensive comments posted on social media."

Heavy Trucking already deals with this through E-Logs recorded on the vehicle’s ECM. LEOs can just walk up and plug in to get all the data. And issue fines. My buddie’s trucking company keeps overhauling 20 year old trucks specifically to keep away from this technology.
They've banned them. No Track.. No Truck!
Such as do you go to MAGA Trump rallies.
How often to you visit a gun store to at least buy ammo?
How often do you obviously take a firearm to a target practice range?
How often do you go see a shrink?
Who else do you go see?
Do you still stop at those nasty gas stations?
Or do you "patriotically" make a lot more stops to charge your Tesla?
Although when you wrap it in foil, the data indicates that the phone was purposely blocked from a cell tower. Even when phones are shut down they still ping the cell tower. No pings means the battery is irreversibly dead or the owner is up to something he wants to hide.
Like live unmolested by the government.
Your cell phone has a chip. Tampering with it is a Felony worth 5yrs and like $50,000 (I think).
PER PHONE. They arrested one guy just for showing others how to do this!
Most of the time, the CRIMINAL state can protect itself like this.
I believe any signs of tampering is loss of license, and and FEDERAL Crime for tampering with FEDERAL Equipment (based ONLY on history, i have not looked it up!)
(Might as well, they'll get the blame when it happens regardless.)
Do you know the law that has these penalties? It would appear to be unconstitutional to me.
Getting the license REQUIRES you build it to govt specs. Which requires this chip.
As a piece of property, remember, you own it. But it is quite illegal to modify a Ham Radio to BROADCAST on police/protected bands.
These laws have been around, and are ALWAYS upheld. In most cases, you cannot challenge them without "standing" (a BS rule), because claiming standing gives them the right to lock you up, LOL.
You can just google "Disable government chip on my phone" to find out more (or something like that).
It's illegal to JAM police radar guns. People do it. I know many of them. The trick they use is they only do it in USED cars, and then claim the previous owner must have installed it. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, though... But this excuse tends to work. You pay a fine, and have it removed.
