"And, of course, all of the newer cars are front wheel drive, so it's awfully hard in general to convince a car company to make a hotrod RWD sedan *just* for the police market."
Aren't the Chrysler 300M & Dodge Magnum both heavy, reasonably fast, RWD vehicles? I know I've already seen Dodge Intrepids & Chevy Luminas used as traffic police vehicles in North Florida. I've seen FHP use Mustangs, Camaros (*she's* a bitch too), Crown Vics, & one or 2 `96 Impalas (probably confiscated).
They still can't make people buy a car with seatbelts in it (pre-70's) if they don't want to, what makes you think they'll force people to buy cars with this black box in it? Now I *can* see them making it illegal to tamper with these black boxes in cars that do have them.

The next words you'll hear are "Please come with me sir." Can you say insubordination, disorderly conduct & (soon to follow) resisting arrest? I thought you could.
" Has any one else noticed that the Ebon Hawk has no bathroom"... I might have noticed that if the POS copy protection would let me play the fucking game I paid $30 for.

Sure, but I was respoding to this.

No need to convince, they are already out there.
