gul and ConfederatePansy will be along in short order to tell us all how private citizens don't actually own their vehicles and it's Big Brother's right to spy on us all on the roads that Obama laid down with his own two hands and paid for out of his own pocket.
Well, I hope Big Brother likes hearing me sing "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath", and "I wanna be sedated", and me angrily graphically describing scenarios wherein the bad drivers around me are inbred ogres in a hurry to get home to huff lighter fluid, and rape their daughters. Cuz, man, there's gonna be tape reels of that shit.

They'll name a FEMA camp in your honor, you know that, right? Camp Hembock. It'll be located at the center of the Grand Canyon, and every night they'll let people throw anvils over the side to go tumbling down into the camp to crush unlucky "residents" in their sleep.
Sounds like an opportunity to develop a surge device to fry your EDR should you ever get pulled over or are in an accident.
If I ever found such a device during maintenance/repairs (and I recognized it on sight ), that shit is getting ripped the fuck out on the spot.
When I worked at GM, I think it was 1 out of every 40 or would get one installed. It would record crash data, if you bought the vehicle that had it you could take it without any problem. It was was just a box with an input and output on it, the harness was made to accommodate it. The vehicle wasn't dependent on it to run.
I thought I read somewhere that OBDII and earlier vehicles weren't saddled with this. I know its an OBDII code reader I plug into jeepie...
Yep, it wasn't until OBDII that these were installed into vehicles. And back then it wasn't every vehicle that had them. They would be installed in a selected number of vehicles as testing/research and the data would be analyzed if the vehicle was in an accident and the manufacturer would then obtain the recorder or go to the vehicle and download the data.
