Vehicle "Kill Switch" Authorized - Hold On

Here's an article about one of the many jewels included in the infrastructure bill that were never discussed prior to passage or after. Special thanks to or fed govt:

Onstar is already working with police. Usually the owner I think needs to request it but cops convinced them to shut it off this time https://www.iheart.com/content/2021-...ut-down-truck/

Everyday we give up a little more control and independence,it’s one thing if you elect to have onstar but another if it’s all mandatory

I agree. I had OnStar on my Hummer because I wanted it. I know have the Toyota and Chrysler equivalents, BUT, I want and should be the one authorizing their use Mandatory installation forced by the government to accomplish/force their will/goals is not acceptable.

I can see that going horribly wrong. Like so many laws that start out well intended could lead to an abuse of power. Of course it would start a whole new industry of " get your kill switch defeter here" on Ebay.
