Biden’s ‘Infrastructure’ Bill Contains Backdoor ‘Kill Switch’ For Cars

[WoodsCraft]

Maybe one should learn more about Ted Kennedy's sarcasm streaks before commenting?

Yeah because all sarcasm translates perfectly in text without the tone of voice , facial expression and gestures .

Always read a proposed law with the worst possible intent and implementation you can imagine.
We've already seen governments freezing peoples bank accounts for protesting the government in Canada, can't allow antigovernment feelings to be expressed . Disabling your transportation because of your political views is not a far step from that.

If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about. The police are the good guys. (unless you're Antifa or BLM, I guess)

Yep, you younger fellas might as well start getting use to the idea. In the not do distant future, all new vehicles will be uploading data to big bro's servers. Your mileage and route will be logged. You will start paying road taxes based upon mileage traveled. There will be no more need for police running radar speed traps. You will just receive a notification when you have violated traffic regulations and the amount owed. Don't pay, they will just flip the off switch one night while you sleep. Non work related travel will be allowed based upon your social credit score. If you wish to go somewhere outside of necessary travel like for vacation or recreation, your score will be checked and you will be given a green or red light depending on how much you have praised your benevolent leaders. For things like groceries and doctors and the like, you will have to enter their address and wait for approval. If you deviate from the mapped route, you might get disabled until you connect with central control and explain yourself then maybe you will be allowed to continue or not. Your car will be able to detect erratic driving. Police will be notified and routed to your exact location. No more driving buzzed or angry. If you live in large urban areas and you are charging your EV overnight and the strain on the grid becomes to high, charging will be suspended until the load can be leveled out. You may or may not have a charged vehicle to go to work the next morning. Yes, this is pretty hyperbolic....or is it?

 

[okcBob]

Yes. Exceedingly hyperbolic

 

[ConstitutionCowboy]

I believe this is all leading up to the implementation of Directive 10-289.

All together now! In 1 - 2 - 3 - SHRUG!

Nah, it'd be more like:

Attractive teen cruising down the road late at night. Lonely deputy sees and recognizes the car, knows it's a hot number, but has been avoiding temptation. In a moment of weakness he shuts down the teen's car remotely, and pulls up behind them, knowing the uniform and position pf authority will get him what he wants.

As the window slowly rolls down the deputy's heart is racing in anticipation of the encounter.

"You know why I stopped you, young man?"

-If an Astronomer tells us that there are a Billion Billion stars in the universe, we tend to believe him/her. If a painter puts up a 'wet paint' sign, we almost always touch the surface to see it it's true.
-I rarely outright believe in politically-motivated articles unless the ability to 'fact check' those articles for myself does not exist; even then I generally don't put much credence in articles that contain words that indicate or imply that something might, may, or could, happen.
-Vehicle apps like OnStar have had the ability to monitor driver performance since 2015 and been able to slow or stop the vehicle remotely since 2016. This is nothing new
https://www.onstar.com/why-onstar/evolution-of-onstar-innovations-To believe that our government is going to use these programs to control the driving population is nothing short of ludicrous, especially considering the past performance of our DOJ players (FBI, DHS, CBP, Secret Service, etc.).
-Gonna have to stick this one in the same category as 'FEMA Camps' in empty Kmart buildings and 'Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMB)' for extraterrestrials

Yes. Exceedingly hyperbolic

Anything hyperbolic can and will evolve. That's where most of this stuff begins. Hyperbole can just be testing the waters so to speak.. Dismiss nothing that can be extrapolated from it.

Oh, and be especially wary of powers granted, assumed, or usurped without specified limitations.
