So since I have a security camera focused on my car and the Onstar app to keep track of the mileage and stuff I guess you could say I am spying on my car.....

You know this idea just hit me with the new Performance Data Recorder in the C7 Z06. The amount of information that thing can give you is amazing and it has a camera recording your moves when enabled and it is a wifi hot spot. I'm wondering when people will start hacking cars or putting viruses on them. Imagine having to but McAfee Virus Scan for your Camaro -kerry |

Bingo! This is why I cancelled OnStar and the insurance "drive safe" thing. OnStar knows exactly how you drive at any time, and reports to your insurance company if you are on the program. DON'T DO IT!

If it comes to this, I envision the same senario as red light cameras. A company owns and operates the system, mails you a ticket and keeps 70-80% of the revenue.

This is why I am weary in participating fully in the drive safe program. I got 6 months free of OnStar and told them I'd join in, little did they know, I did not call my insurance :P. I lost out on another free 6 months but it ain't worth higher insurance costs hehe
And as far as I know so long as OnStar is active they know exactly where you are at all times, the GPS works both ways, to direct you and for OnStar to be able to find you. In addition they know you're speed, they know how many miles you have till you are empty, they know your oil life, they know if you have a flat tire, etc etc There's even a microphone in the car! You can't walk around life being afraid of all this, this is our society now, it came with all the technology that we love.... smart phones are more dangerous than our cars.....

over the speed limit or not hit your turn signal , or do a rolling stop , you should receive a ticket and fine and should have to pay the penalty , More laws and fines that is the answer |

So if you want to be off the grid, go. If you don't care use the soc sites.
I know they are watching, and I could give 3 shits. I'm a law abiding citizen, so they are pretty bored watching me all the time. I don't do anything illegal(I don't consider speeding and defaulted loans illegal activity, hence the difference between commercial and consumer loans.). Look for the money. Seek the sources of these spying activities, see who's footing the bills, and you'll know why. FBI, CIA, NSA; does it matter? Most Americans aren't doing anything. It's all part of the marketing plan. Sell sell sell. Now if they detect illegal activity then by all means arrest, but make it stick. I mean arms drugs bombs. Terrorist activity. Nip it in the bud.

In addition to insurance companies tracking mileage...They are exploring how, over the next decade, they can move to a system in which drivers pay per mile of road they roll over.
"This really is a must for our nation. It is not a matter of something we might choose to do," said Hasan Ikhrata, executive director of the Southern California Assn. of Governments, which is planning for the state to start tracking miles driven by every California motorist by 2025. "There is going to be a change in how we pay these taxes. The technology is there to do it." |

A simple algorithm with Google maps could track this data and issue tickets based on the post speed limit and how fast your going. Google = Skynet!

Then couldn't they also adjust your speed limiter remotely to the speed limit so nobody would ever speed again?

Haha! Not in SC. Exception- under a state of emergency via the president or governor of SC, they can use this method. However, the arresting officer must PERSONALLY hand you any remote camera ticket within one hour to you. So basically no camera tickets...at least not yet.
