Be prepared to be monitored while you drive.

Plus, for you and monitoring, don't forget about the juvy halls and the county lockups. They monitor too.

*BUM BUM BUM DRAMATIC MUSIC*

Now where will I sneak off to to smoke while the teacher's not looking? It gets a hell of a lot harder to do when you're the teacher.

The teacher needs to watch out for the students' mobile phones.

One cigarette, and the teacher's puffing is on social media for all to see.

When Og was young, taking a photograph was a matter of deliberation. If I only have 12 shots on this film, is the subject and composition good enough?

Now? People can take hundreds of pictures a day and not worry if half are worthless. Even if they aren't, they might be stored for years without being looked at.

Anyone doing anything interesting in public, in any town or city, is likely to be recorded in video or still photography - by members of the public far more than by the state.

Haven't you noticed? We already are.

This post is been monitored by MI5,6, Scotland Yard, the CIA and FBI, Mossad, and by a multitude of other agencies.

I suspect they are bored.

what?
you don't have a smart phone?

it's smart in all kinds of ways....

how do you think they track you to get you your calls/msgs?

every ping on your cel is a radar blip
on a screen somewhere
were you...
or your movements
important enough
to track...

why embed something in your car
when you, yourself, choose to embed it in your pocket?

be prepared, you say...?

i just signed on for two more years with att
and all they wanted was a small fraction of the rigged retail cost
of this new neato shiny spinning morphine drip...

No doubt you're a liberal apologist. I can choose to turn my phone off, or I can choose to not take it with me if I choose not to be monitored.

It's always weird to me how many places I wasn't already being monitored. I genuinely assume that if I'm out in the world, say, in my car, I'm being watched. That's why you go behind places or to the top of cliffs to fuck in cars and not just out in the open. Where you're being watched.

People would be monitored if they drove their private vehicle on private land.

OBDII was in all cars beginning in '96. A few had it in '94 and '95. Here's a list of those:

Yea, and OBDI I belive was 91/90...which can also track your shit so long as the battery hasen't been disconnected, which would make it lame as fuck but I don't see many 91-90 cars on the road anymore anyhow.

It's certainly possible for this to be strictly a mileage recording tool. On the other hand I'll be surprised if it's implemented in an equitable way which would also be based on vehicle weight and number of axles.

True, they already do progressive taxation based on vehicle type....this is just a continuation of it.

A 3/4 ton truck should pay more than 1500lb sedan.
I also wonder how they are going to apply it to trailers, which are the greater weight/damage to roads, vs just the tractor.

My whole family up the paternal side is in construction/excavation....trust me big trucks pay out the fucking ass for all those stickers you see on their fuel tanks/door/windshield/plates(depending on jurisdiction they may be in diff locations) and when was the last time you went and bought tags for a commercial trailer? They are anything but cheap....DOT get's their slice out of big/commercial vehicles I promise. In fact we have taxed them pretty much to the reasonable fuckin' max man, that's why they are coming after POV's/commuters.

It's the 65$ tags on the POV's that aren't cutting it. Not the tens of thousands a year worth of paperwork that Mac Truck has in his passenger seat just to legally roll on the roads. So...progressive taxation...those who use the road more? Pay more. Fair as fuck from what I can tell.

I fully expect the systems to be used for more monitoring than just mileage.

Duh...it's the US government, why is that all of a sudden a problem?

Republicans cheered the PATRIOT act when Bush was behind it and Democrats cheered it when Obama kept and expanded it.

Face it, the parties do what they want and their lemmings will come up with anything they can to justify their teams scummery.

If all they want is mileage, a much cheaper way would just be collecting it at yearly vehicle registration time, with spot checks randomly, with huge fines if you're caught lying about your mileage.

Yea but that doesn't give a contract to some senators brother in law to make these stupid boxes for some absurd fucking price, no bid gumbbmint contract of course. No corruption

This is clearly something they plan to do in order to fight terrorism and child pornography and keep the homeland safe. How could anybody possibly object?

LMAO the sell all line for both sides.
