chus13 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just found this as I was perusing the web. Thought it would be very interesting to get peoples takes on the matter. "The European Union is secretly developing a "remote stopping" device that would be fitted to all cars and allow police to disable vehicles at the flick of a switch. Confidential documents from a committee of senior EU police officers, who meet in secret, set out the plan as part of wider law enforcement surveillance and tracking measures. "The project will work on a technological solution that can be a 'build in standard' for all cars that enter the European market," said the document." http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-news/secret-plan-to-fit-remote-stopping-devices-to-cars-20140130-31nxw.html?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=outbrain_amplify Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439082-secret-plan-to-fit-remote-stopping-devices-to-cars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

NISZILA Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If there is a system that can remotely stop cars at will, there will be two major issues to consider. It can be disabled, so if people really want to get rid of it, they will. If it is remotely operated, that means the system can by hacked and someone from the public can therefore stop cars at will and cause mayhem. Somehow I don't think this will happen.

Kinks Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 ^^ agreed. The number of trucks doing more than 100 makes it obvious that efforts to install "big brother" devices in vehicles simply doesn't work. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/truck-drivers-arms-race-frustrates-police-20130908-2te2b.html Having said that, external devices like safety cam and average speed cameras makes it hard for them to bend the law significantly. Rather than fitting remote stopping devices, how about catching them and beating the shit out of them before leaving them to rot in jail? I have no sympathy for those who run from the police but removing the ability for us to choose between right and wrong just makes us all prisoners of "the system" by default.
