This is already happening with heavy vehicles. The task force regularly stop trucks and “plug into them” to make sure that limiters aren’t tampered with.
What has our country come to?
The Kenworth I drive is GPS tracked, and that means everything, braking applications, braking distance, deceleration, G forces in corners, the lot.
But, if I were to have some major accident, the police would be kicking the front door of my employer in demanding the data from the vehicle under the “chain of responsibility” laws.
Whether they get this information or not, I’m not sure but they would give it a bloody good try.
They have no right to this from anyone. If they want to convict someone, they can damn well do the investigation themselves, not rely on outside data that in many cases, they have to legal right to.
In my opinion, we are becoming a police state.
