Once it's in cops/feds will put a backdoor in. They have already done it (and used it) with Onstar and Telsa.
And they will sell it to you as 'Oh, but it's for the good of the people'
BS, the only people it's good for is the ones in control.

We also can wrap the whole car with tin foil so they can't communicate with the kill system.

I will have to do some research and find out what Freq they will use for this system and we can build a jammer... Anything can be jammed. ha ha

I don't plan on buying a new car or truck for a while or never. Just bought the wife a brand new Rav4 Hybrid and this Ranger Tremor...

I can see it now.....
Me--Driving down the road and my truck just dies.....WTF !!!!
Cop chasing a drunk driver in a different part of the state--It's not working !! Try the kill switch again !!!
Dispatch-- What was that license plate again ??
Cop--Xxx-XXxx
Dispatch--Oops, my bad...... :facepalm:
Me--Waiting for a tow truck or for dispatch to "un-killswitch" my truck.
Since this thing "monitors the air content" in the vehicle I'm going to brick cars by walking around pouring vodka on the windshield cowl where the cabin air intake is. I will travel the country doing this to cause backlash and strand everyone who was stupid enough to buy a blow-start car.

Have you priced Vodka lately ? It's too expensive for me to be an alcoholic !

Is it really? Most food prices seem to be coming down. I started growing potatoes this year, it's too damn bad if I made vodka from them I couldn't sell it. It should be legal to sell. Missouri says you can legally produce 100 gallons a year, but only for personal consumption. 100 gallons...personal consumption! You can become a raging alcoholic but not make a buck.

You don't sell the vodka. You sell a rock for $10 and give them a free bottle of hooch.

I remember the OnStar case making it to the Supreme Court. The FBI was caught listening in on conversations in the car by turning on the Onstar phone.

The FBI lost the case, but not over the privacy issue! They lost over the fact that the occupants no longer had the Onstar functionality when the FBI had the system in use!
:facepalm:

I keep hoping, everyday, that some entity will "beam me up", cause this is further proof that there is no intelligent life (among those who make decisions) on this dirt ball.....

My biggest fear....tomorrow I'm having the "10 year butt probe" being conducted and afraid that the govment may mandate the Doc insert a "Bowell Movement Tracking Device" so the appropriate agencies can monitor where, when, how often, and type of poo I do !!!
You may laugh, but I bet that somewhere, in some small "Black" office, there's a group of people who monitor the poo our nation produces.......

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
Some lobbyist representing someone or company, the actual politicians wouldn’t think of this unless they were prodded and were getting something in return, that’s how they leave richer then when they arrived there.
Spot on. And it's such bullshit. Entire system is screwed up. We should start with term limits....

Deep breath. Think about puppies and cold beer.... Was getting ready to get on a tangent.

A kill switch to stop drunk drivers sounds like a great idea!!
drunk drivers deserve the strictest and swiftest punishment. im not on board with the kill switch stuff but if it helps bust a drunk driver i might be open to arguments.

The UN monitored the poo situation in India and made multiple videos and campaigned to get them to build more toilets and stop crapping in the streets but India refused to do it. Good on them for standing up to the globalists! Maybe I will crap in the street to stand in solidarity!

I worked under a contract in India spent one year there- it is a norm in the slum areas - bucket of water to rinse and wipe with left and shake / eat with right hand.
I have witnessed this and have seen bathing in the street water puddles.
It is the only option - homeless literally live/home is in the median of a busy street- via a tarp or cardboard box
My contract ended - hated to leave - loved the city Mumbai and it’s people.
No better way to travel, when not working than by Rickshaw. Had my own car and a driver to go anywhere I wanted but the Rickshaw was the best way to really get to know the city as long as a cow or elephant was not blocking the road, they roam freely.
