Vehicle ‘Kill Switch’ Mandate Is a Gross (and Dangerous) Violation of Privacy::Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.” This is a toxic mixture.

    A kill switch would be something the government could enable to, say, stop a fleeing vehicle.

    That is NOT what this is. This is automated DUII prevention.

    Makes you wonder why they’re phrasing it as a “kill switch”, doesn’t it?
