"Borucki supports the idea of taxing motorists for every mile they drive by placing tracking devices in their cars. The plan would replace an existing state gas tax."

Uh, yeah.....riiiiiiiiiight

Big Brother is closing in.

Got a slap on the wrist. I had a squeaky clean record. I do have weekly piss tests though due to my chem eval. Have my license back now. Good thing too. It's gettin too damn cold to ride to work everyday.

I may support the idea.

Iy would prove very helpful is fighting crime which is one this nations foremost problems.

It would also help congestion and make the roads safer and the air cleaner. Too many people get in their car and drive around for the hell of it.

Most cars already have a "black box" electronic device that records car stats like speed, rpm, braking etc.

There have been a few cases where black box data recovered after an accident has implicated people on reckless driving and even manslaughter charges.

This sort of thing makes me uncomfortable, but I guess I have nothing to hide, right?

Yeah, and maybe we can administer roadside(at a road block of course) lie detector tests. If you've ever created a crime, or intend to commit a crime, the police can throw you in jail.

This way, we can completely eliminate crime, thus creating a perfect society.

not only is that in conflict with privacy

its also weird

why tax per mile and not per gallon

makes more sense to tax per gallon

"Borucki is a democrat"

No fucking surprise.

Test boy:

Derides what he interprets as tyranny, but supports stealing peoples money because he doesn't like that they "Drive around."


A true blue democrat

I would only support this if police were able to use this data to stop criminals and terrorists. Just think, instead of car chases, the police could hit a button and disable your car.
