black boxes do they really exist??
black boxes do they really exist?? ok i was in class a few days ago and my professor whos some high up judge for the state of fl and seems to have alot of good credentials.. says that EVERY car produced reltively recently has a secreat box installed in it that tracks your speed, direction, g's, ect.. he said you would have to be a mechanical genuss to disable it (or even find it) but if you get in a wreck the opposing side in a case can sepna for the data on this box and really screw you??? now again ive heard of these things being possiblly installed in future cars (according to dateline or msnbc) but this guy who is very very respectable says all cars have em and hes used these to proscute people before ....do our cars have them and if so where is it??????
do a search on black box and a bunch of posts will pop up. they have been there for years. its for insurance and "safety" issues.

Dam the man and his black box!!!!! I hate those insurance people who use this information against people to find out who is at fault. That box stares at me, mocking me every time I take out the center console. Its 5 seconds of information will be the death of me someday.

I'm sure some electrical genius out there has already made a box delete system. If you can bypass sensors i'm sure it can be done. yeah I've seen that "airbag" box under the console. Even my 93 car has it. Shucks. I wonder if it logged my run where the speedo was pegged ?!?
