Over here in the US there's a lot of controversy surrounding the use of black boxes (in cars), red light cameras, speed cameras, and radar jammers.
Here's what they are, just so you know:
BLACK BOXES keep track of data such as throttle, brake usage, and seat belt use for something like 30 seconds before a crash. (The memory only holds that much, and it continually recycles the memory space until a crash). They are often used in accident investigations to determine who did what. But people claim that the boxes are an invasion of their privacy.
RED LIGHT and SPEEDING CAMERAS detect if a car is running a red light/speeding and will then take a picture of the car's license plate. A ticket is mailed to the offender. Well, people object to that too, saying that they are just there to create revenue for the government.
RADAR JAMMERS prevent the police's radar guns from working on your vehicle. Most states made them illegal, for obvious reasons. But more people think they should be legal.
So I'd like to hear your opinion. I think that jammers are bad, but the others should be used. If you have not broken the law, do you really care if they know how fast you were going? The only part I don't like is when cities reduce the yellow light time to make more people (accidentally) run a red light. That I don't like.
What do you think?
