Big Brother To Decide If You Drive
245 million Americans to be forced to undergo "guilty until proven
innocent" breathalyzer tests just to start their cars if plan proceeds

Just when you thought the Orwellian Big Brother society couldn't
possibly accelerate further, it gets even worse. A move is afoot to
force 245 million drivers in America to have alcohol breathalyzers
fitted in their vehicles, ignition interlocks that prevent the vehicle
from being started by an inebriant.

"The threat of arrest and punishment, for decades the primary tactic
against drunken drivers, is no longer working in the struggle to reduce
the death toll, officials say, and they are proposing turning to
technology — alcohol detection devices in every vehicle — to address the
problem," reports the New York Times.

In addition, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers today began a campaign to
make all states pass legislation that mandates these devices be placed
in all cars of drunk drivers, even if they are just a first time
offender.

Mandatory breathalyzers in all vehicles is just one item in a veritable
surveillance package that all drivers will be forced to accept if they
wish to use America's roads and highways.

- GPS tracking and taxation black boxes are being pushed to coincide
with the construction of the NAFTA Superhighway, where all vehicles will
be forced to use toll roads and will have their every movement
catalogued by spy satellites in alliance with a massive centralized
database.

- US citizens will be forced to adopt a de-facto national identification
card and have their freedom of mobility defined by behavioral fealty to
the government under proposals set to derive from NAFTA superhighway
toll road systems and the implementation of the American Union.

- Biometric eye scanners that can detect tiredness and deny mobility if
the system judges the driver to be fatigued are being proposed for
individual vehicle use after being utilized by police in Australia.

- Proposals are in play to install surveillance cameras in all cars,
especially in areas where legislation has been passed that bans the
individual from smoking in their own car if a child is also present.

- In March 2004, Toyota launched its concept car of the future - a
literal behavior modification surveillance center on wheels - festooned
with Big Brother technology - that will record every nuance and error
the driver exhibits, and will limit its performance based on those
factors, including refusing to turn itself on. Industry publications and
other motor industry giants have also touted surveillance infested
vehicles as the model for all future development.

The installation of mandatory breathalyzers in all vehicles by law is a
death knell for freedom of mobility and directly violates the 4th
amendment, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable
cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the
place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

The following points also illustrate why the move is a dangerous and
harebrained idea.

- Though billed as a "non-profit organization," Mothers Against Drunk
Driving is a front group for the auto industry and has been caught in
the past stealing money it raises through telemarketing. The American
Institute of Philanthropy has given MADD poor grades for its high
bureaucratic and fundraising costs.

- MADD advocates warrantless random roadblocks and checkpoints to
supposedly find drunk drivers, violating the U.S. constitution and
instilling fear into people for simply having a glass of wine with their
meal.

- Apologists for the program cite seatbelts as an example of a security
measure that was beneficial, yet don't understand the slippery slide to
fascism that inevitably comes as a result of restricting mobility.

- Drunks kill around 40,000 people a year and yet prescription drugs
kill over 200,000. Medical malpractice kills over 300,000 - but the
media hasn't brainwashed Americans to be fearful or upset about the
bigger dangers and so they don't care. The hyped specter of drunk
driving deaths manipulates whining do-gooders to call for their own
enslavement, anything to save a few lives.

- In the majority of areas in the south-west, around half of DWI's
involve illegal aliens, but nobody is prepared to face up to that
problem. A study by the Highway Safety Research Center at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found Hispanic drivers involved in
crashes were three times more likely to be drunk than white or black
drivers.

As Paul McNamara of Network World points out, the potential
ramifications for fitting every car with such a device are ominous.

"There is, of course, the straightforward civil libertarian question:
Why should those who have never been convicted of drunken driving be
compelled to prove they are innocent before being allowed to operate
their own cars? This baby seems to have been tossed with the bathwater
long ago in a country where drug testing has become routine, but you can
expect the die-hards to be heard anew."

"How far down the technology slope are we sliding? Certainly, any such
standard automobile equipment could include a record-keeping component.
Will attempted drunken driving become a crime? There could be no denying
the deterrent effect of such a new law. Three rejected start attempts
and you lose your license? Five and the ignition is permanently
disabled? Certainly the advocates will make the case than an ounce of
prevention beats even one more highway fatality."

"What about networking? Will the data be wirelessly transmitted to your
local police department? Why not? It would clearly help law enforcement
target and keep tabs on the recidivists. And the cops will need to know
when to pull your license for that third strike."

???????Why would this be a problem if your not a drunk driver, which
happens to be illegal last time i checked???????
GUESS WHAT CLASS .... people are dying over drunk
drivers.......

Some people should have as mandatory.

if you've already been convicted, even once...it should be mandatory.

Amazing... but what is being missed is that regardless you, I and (ALL)
Americans will be (Forced) to have these installed in (All) the new
upcoming cars, trucks, jeeps etc.

Surveillance cameras (in your car watching & listening to you)
warrantless Big Brother taxing you as you drive on the American Union
Electronic Toll Roads. EVERYTHING being tracked and traced without mine
and your permission like criminals.

... Listen ... I"M NORMAL this is total COOCOO LAND & TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT.
Maybe we should change are national theme to "Land Of The Slaves... Home
of The Cowards!" I know I"M not accepting this electronic prisonitory
control grid going up... how about you?

I have serious doubts about being forced to have cameras IN our cars. It
is private property and is no less an invasion of that privacy than
being forced to have cameras in our homes.
I also can't see the auto maufacturers going along with these ideas. The
cost of adding all these high tech devices would make the cost of a
vehicle so prohibitive that the average person won't be able to afford a
new car.
If the gov't is THAT concerned about our saftey maybe they should force
auto manufacturers to quit producing cars that are capable of doing
twice the highway speed limit.
But the gov't DOESN'T REALLY CARE about your personal safety, just
interfering in your personal privacy.
And altho the breathalyzer lock is a good idea, it won't prevent ppl who
are high on presription drugs or illegal narcotics from starting up
their car and driving.

I personally like the idea of a micro chip in our brains so the Gov. can
monitor our thoughts. So if we have a Rep in the White House, and you
are having dirty thoughts. You will soon have a knock on your door from
the thought police. LMFAO

However if we have a Dem in there then you better have a dirty thought!
Or else you'll be TAXED TO DEATH!!! BAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

heh..whatever..like its gonna happen..if they wanna watch me in my car
fine let em, they gonna get real fuckin bored doin it

You never know Poet. Clinton maybe watchin you now. LOL

LMAO then he's watchin me flip his dumb ass off LMAO..geez Bill next
time get a gurl who swallows the evidence lol

omg lmfaoooooooooo

heh just keepin it real lol ok I'm out nite Ghost<hugs da Ghost>
Nite my lil donkey <hugs da lil donkey>

nite nite Poet < hugs da jell-o puddin pop> hehehe

You can bring BIG BROTHER down just by one punch to the groin.

If you are man enough that is.

Didnt miss the part about the unit being installed in the vehicle.
Still not a problem if you dont drink and drive. This is not a new idea,
its been around for 15 yrs that I know of. You already have a recorder
in your car, in the Brain. It can recall the last controls used and
other info. Accident investigators use this information when it is
available. I wouldent mind knowing as much as possible about an
accident. This is just an extrapolation of that idea. I dont have any
secrets so I dont care what "THEY" do to watch me or record my
movements.

Cool! A black box in the car.

So when you've totally recked the car, they can scrape you up and
retrieve the blackbox.

yah. "THEY" HAVE been doing that for a few years now. Dont know exactly
what info is on there, but there is braking, aceleration, turn signals,
speed, and probably more. EVER NOTICE THAT EVEN THOUGH Electronics are
geting smaller, the brain in a car is getting bigger?hmmmmmmmmmm
I still maintin that unless your guilty of something, Why care? Are we
after truth or some illusion?

At first they covince you that there is a good reason for it then. they
abuse it that is why?
