I don't carry a smartphone largely because it's a surveillance device outside of my control, and no it's not ok for you to put one on my car without a warrant.

I don't carry a smartphone largely because it's a surveillance device outside of my control, and no it's not ok for you to put one on my car without a warrant. Scott Wiener can kindly go stick his head back where it belongs.

- newnewpdro 8y agoThere's already incentive to disable odometers for vehicle resale value, if you start taxing owners for miles traveled it only increases this incentive. I've had colleagues throughout the years who pulled fuses or on even older vehicles simply disconnected mechanical speedometer cables to prevent accumulation of miles.
