Yeah, clearly that will be the only thing to come from this level of over reach. Clearly as long as your not doing anything untoward you have nothing to fear. Pre judgment of crime before it is committed just makes sense right?
Or your car will not start when you use the wrong mouthwash, or when you are the designated driver, or when in an emergency on the way to the hospital after using rubbing alcohol. Or you are drunk and get in your car for whatever reason and the doors lock and call the police when you had no intention of driving.
Or and here's a fun one, not wanting to be treated like a fucking criminal with a item you paid many tens of thousands for!
And all that is off the top of my head before getting into the nightmare of who gets the data.
We have today a massive issue just with cameras in cars (remember when Tesla got caught watching people fuck in their home?). You rolling out the red carpet to have even more dystopian shit in the future is silly, and here let's turn this around, if those technologic evils are not at risk of being made real, then why the fuck do you care that people are upset about a law mandating them in cars? Are you the outrage police?
Passive bac detection... And you after all this think that means anything not ripped right from a dystopian story written to warn us never to do the stupid thing you seem to want?
I don't let my car record anything I do, and I am not forced to yet. No one at this time is forced into the nightmare, but if this shit becomes law they will be.
No one is arguing for that, you're being dishonest.
Please point to someone saying I want to drive drunk. Surely you can find one.
Please find me someone who wants to drive drunk.
Basic rights? Not being considered guilty in advance? Come now this is just getting silly.
You should just turn yourself in for diddiling children as we are making up quotes no one said as you clearly have the ability to be a child preditor and all that. Actually let's just install a device that checks your arousal every time a child is within 50 meters of you, I mean unless you can find me a good reason why you should be able to live as a child molester.
Please find me someone who wants to drive drunk.
Please find me someone who wants to drive drunk. 4th time's the charm?
Still haven't found anyone, huh? Oh well.

I know you Republicans have failed basic grade school but I can count.
