Control???
okokok... I am loath to admit it, but about a month ago I heard a thing on *cough* NPR *cough* that was all about this british company that devised a license plate that could be tracked by satellite. Implication was that the authorities could locate stolen vehicles easier, be alerted when a vehicle that had expired tags left it's "residence" and all that stuff... BUT theoretically you could also instantaneously get a ticket for speeding, running a light, etc. They were trying to bring it here.
Has anyone heard anything more on this? Do you think it would work on an older car that had NO comptuers, etc on it? Think about it... this would eliminate the needs for highway patrols because they would know immediately if you were speeding. At that point I think I would buy some sort of transportation that this fucking thing couldn't be hooked up to.

Re: Control???
that system is unconstitutional i think... it violates privacy rights, doesnt it? cause you could always be tracked, the goverment would always know where u were 24/7.....

Re: Control???
i wouldnt put it past our government to instate a system like this.. put more people out of work.. thats all they seem to be doing lately isnt it?
*on a side note, it probably would violate privacy rights.. but it wouldnt be hard to get around that.. they would just have to pass some clever named bill in congress..

Morley, you've heard this too huh? So the tag is in the PLATE??? or does it run through the car's computer, or whatever for power, etc. From what little technical info I heard it seems like it wouldn't work on a non-computer car.. ie customs or 70's and older cars. If that's the case.... I'm gonna go buy the 55 Chevy pickup and 56 panel body I saw the other day and have them redone so I can avoid those friggin plates.

to be on topic, i would just take a sledge hammer to the part of the plate that has the tracking device... then just put it back on with a non-functional plate, and speed all i want

Re: Control???
OK, now I'm upset... the chip has it's own powersource??? This is damned ridiculous.
Who'd I vote for some Stalin wanna be liberal??? I can say one thing... If this comes over here, we're gonna hafta get some sort of petition together for our leglislators to try to defeat this shit. Maybe darft one and post it up and people can download it and have people in their districts and then mail it into your congress poeple. Talk about infringment of rights....

it won't pass... i'd bet a huge amount of money on that if i wasn't broke lol... if anything like that comes out, it will be used similar to lojack... it will only be activated in the case of a reported stolen car, or maybe if the car is in the process of running from the cops... they won't monitor you all the time, that is infringment of our rights, and won't pass
