I would like to hear Freepers weigh in on whether this would constitute an invasion of privacy

Uh... yeah!

Do you think the government would stop where you hope they would?

What makes you think that Big Brother would not also use the technology to track speeders? Those who wear or do not wear safety belts?

Why not also put a smoke detector in each car to track who is smoking with a child in the car?

"You missed your 5000 mile environmental inspection. Please pay this fine promply before we take more severe action against you."

And let's also track every car that drives into a gun shop, and cross that list of people tracked going to church on Sunday morning.

You will have secret FBI files being started on those the government considers enemies of the state. "Your car was tracked going to a strip club... Your car was tracked to a woman's house three nights last week..."

Don't ever give the government any power you would not want Hillary Clinton to have.

You raise a huge concern. It is a concern of mine also. However, look at the tremendous store of data the government has on you now. SS files, all your tax returns, property records, birth certificates. How many of these are being abused right now. Remember, WE are the government.. Personally, I have been on the interstate with a precious cargo, my family, and I have had tractor trailers fly by me going 95 MPH. At that moment, I would love for the troopers to flick the blue light on.
