A proxy server and firewall ought to solve that one.
Plus, if you don't compile it yourself, who knows what extra goodies are being installed that you don't want.
Even if you compile it yourself; even if you spend months verifying the source code, you can still be compiling in some backdoor code. Check out http://www.acm.org/classics/sep95/. If your compiler binary is compromised, no amount of source code review is going to help. Your only hope is to hand assemble a compiler and use that to build your software.
Yes, it is a waste of time to provide evidence to a jury that our rights are being systematically infringed upon. It must also be a waste of time to collect anything that might be of historic interest: Baseball Cards, old movie posters, stamps. Why not toss out other collections: Phone books, libraries, video stores, etc while we're at it.
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things will I give you if you fall down and worship me." - Matthew 4:8-9
He did have the opportunity, but decided against it.
I must have phrased something incorrectly. I am not a conspiracy nut. I agree with you that the government has neither the funds, nor the inclination to gather driving stats at this level.
The original poster said With the "Last 5 second" black box I don't see much of a threat to privacy.
If the on board computer in a car is only storing the last 5 seconds of statistics in its black box (collision data recorder), and you are adding a device to read and report that data (so you can keep an eye on your teens) how difficult would it be for that device to periodically query the on-board computer and log the results? Answer: ridiculously easy. In fact, it would have to do that in order to work.
Teen: "The 'puter only records the last five seconds. I'm cool 'cause I slow down by the time I get to my street!" Parent: "I've installed SafeForce" Teen: "Busted!"
My point was that you can't have security based on data being temporary when you add a device logging that temporary data.
As far as ripping it out, the data recorder is, more than likely, built into the computer that runs the fuel injectors, the dash board, the ABS, etc. Ripping it out would give you a dead car.
The data recorder is already in your car. It is wired into the brakes, the engine, etc. This device merely plugs into the data recorder and produces reports.

Public transit is only available in cities. For small towns and rural areas, a vehicle is a necessity. (Unless you like lugging ten bags of groceries six miles in the hot sun and hoping to get home before the ice cream melts.)
Besides, you may already have one of these things in your car, whether you agreed to it, or not.
Isaac Asimov is one of the top names in science fiction. His series of stories on robots transformed the entire genre. Before Asimov, robots were metal monsters out to kill and maim for no reason whatsoever. After Asimov, robots became tools, servants.
I suspect that a much more frequent use of crypto is in viewing bank statements online. Many people routinely check their account status, but never buy anything online.
The problem with transfer rate and seek times are always going to be a bottleneck until you lose the MECHANICAL bits. Why not make these things rectangular, and have an array of laser/sensors that sense the bits directly.

The US currently has the ability to do this. It has missle silos full of ICBMs, cruise missiles, etc. They can hit any target anywhere on the planet without a single soldier having to leave American soil. If you throw in the sub launched weapons, and the bombers, you can decimate an enemy without getting a soldier within, say, fifty miles of them.

The words switch, transfer, move (or variants) do not occur.
The word new does occur once, but in relation to the certificate, not the issuer.Sad. Just Sad.
