In that case, I'd f***ing well walk or move to a third-world country that either has fewer rules, or where you can bribe your way out of rules. With any luck though, the US will go the way of Greece before then and we'll see mass firings of petty rule-making bureaucratic scumbags. Without pension. Just a kick onto the street, like a canine with sarcoptic mites.

As far as a newer car, there are plenty of cars made in the last 28 years that DON'T have this kind of system, so I'll have plenty to choose from.

Then again, I'm a tech person, so this situation may spell a business opportunity. Selling "altered" spy devices to Mafia, drug-dealers, marital cheaters, etc. In short, people who are more honest than the bureaucratic pigs who may see fit to mandate wholesale espionage on the public.
