I also feel that it is a HUGE invasion of privacy and it absolutely will be used against you in any situation where a lawyer feels he can make a case with it. There have already been several such cases in a few different states unfortunately. Absolutely 100% it is an invasion of privacy that is forced upon us. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I "think" where I live it is not (yet) a crime to disable the black box although it certainly isn't easy or inexpensive to do. Of course these days in the urban world we have no privacy at all. Stealth GPS units in cell phones, audio recorders in product display units at retail stores, Onstar-type GPS locators in cars, satelite imaging, toll pass tracking, creditcard purchase tracking, discount retail card purchase tracking and ofcourse a camera at every intersection of every road and tacked all over the inside and outside of almost every non-residential building on earth... and as I have noticed recently, some residential buildings as well.... and we won't even get in to computers and the Internet. If you think youre anonymous on the Internet send me a PM about it cause I can always use a good chuckle! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I could probably go on if I gave it some real thought but that paints a decent picture or the urban world today with regards to privacy. I realize that some of this technology saves lives and that a great deal of its abuse is simply for markets/advertising purposes but still the fact remains that privacy is pretty much a thing of the past IMO. Just like the TSA... these types of invasions of privacy are here to stay. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> You don't have to agree with it but you might as well get used to it. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
