Police want to be able to control your car by remote (Big Brother)

12-23-2003, 03:19 PM

Police call for remote button to stop cars

Motorists face new 'Big Brother' technology

In what will be seen as yet another example of the in-creasing power of Big Brother, drivers face the prospect of their cars being halted by somebody pushing a button.

'Providing an effective means to remotely stop a vehicle is fast becoming a priority,' Hammond told a European conference. 'The development of a safe and controlled system to enable remote stopping has the potential to directly save lives.'

Experts now believe the technology could start to be used voluntarily by the end of the decade and ultimately could be made mandatory.

The government wants to be able to control your car, for your own good.

They've been talking about this for years. They'll be able to control entire cities with the touch of a button.

Good luck with that. They'd have to provide everybody with new cars that have the technology implemented.

THis is bullshit..

Doubt it will happen.. Too much room for error on a mass scale.. press a button and 500 cars stop working.. would love to see the mass pile up on the LA expressway with something like this.. Even if there is an electronic serial number, theres always room for error..

Well living in LA it doesnt sound like a bad idea.

Do you folks not realize that criminals now know that if they risk the lives of others while fleeing in a highspeed car chase that sometimes the cops back off?

So what do crooks do now? Floor it and just go for it.

There are car chases on the news nightly here and sometimes because cops are having such a fun time of chasing down bad guys, innocent people die because the crook in the car knows if he goes 110 on the freeway and acts crazy enough the cops will back off to save further lives...

I am against this, but man it sounds like a great idea after watching crash after crash of car chases ending in civilian death.

Move to LA and watch the news, youll see why people want to have such a device.

Tell that to the kids that die because some illegal is doing 100+ on the freeway because he stole a slice of pizza and the cops want to kill him.

Again, I said I dont support it, but I can see how some miught want it.

You know damn well if your mom or sister or dad was killed by a fleeing car chase youd want something done.

I can see how some would want it, that doesnt mean I support it.

Read what I wrote first.

They can already trace every car built since 1984(started with GM cars). Ever see the little antennas hanging under bridges, or sign posts that look look little FM antennas?

Lol..

Thats for the freight trucks, to track speed and to track how long you have been on the road for.. Also some of those antenas are for news camera feeds that get sent to the television stations for traffic cam reports..

Paranoid much?.. lol..

It could be run on linux, but I don't imagine anyone's going to want to type in a 100 character command to stop your car when all it really takes is you putting your foot on the break.

The cops will notify the call centre and you'll get some smart alec customer service rep saying

"did you try putting your foot on the brake?"
"did you want that stopped now or at the end of the billing cycle?"
"Ok, I'm not sure what to do, so I'm just going to place you on hold for 2 minutes while I get this taken care of"

The technology's been there for a few years in some test cities, we'll see how widely it spreads. I don't know if I'd want a kill switch on my car while I'm doing 110 MP/h though.....

It would make for a good sci-fi movie though, wouldn't it? Bad guy with the right connections figures out the frequency and shuts down a city, causing havoc while he steals something valuable.

Good idea? Haha.. this is a stupid idea, they already have road strips to use to disable most cars, when used properly and in a timely manor this is sufficient to stop a vehicle quickly..

What happens when they stick this shit on a highway, and your driving 85mph during the night, and they start using this device to control speed flow?

Your driving along, listening to your music, going to a destination, You look over and see a big ass box that says traffic controlled by remote disable device.. You get zapped, then BAM MOTHERFUCKER! your engine disables, you freak the fuck out and end up losing control of your vehicle on a corner, you flip over, and almost die..

You sue the ever loving shit out of the governement and vehicle manufacturers for letting this device be implimented in your vehicle..

Can you see how this type of shit could get ugly REALLY fast?

Haha..
