Think traffic laws couldn't get any worse?

I am tech geek but I also have an interest in privacy laws and how they are slowly eroding due to technology. Below is a great article about the GTR and its data recording black box and what potentially could come as a result. How about driving up to random check points where they download position/speed/g-forces etc. and then give you a ticket on the spot for reckless driving. The data recorder is capable of doing that now. Look to more vehicles in the future having this capability.

That would be a great excuse until they integrate GPS data into the car...kinda like OnStar already does.

It will just create a market for black-box-simulators that will tell them you were driving like a grandma...
