The only
thing I can say in favor of this is based on a VERY limited scope where
it would be of benefit. Law enforcement could benefit from this
technology by tracking a pursuit vehicle without engaging in a pursuit
(or after termination), and coupled with helicopter monitoring, track the
vehicle via GPS, in order to improve the chances of
recovery/arrest. However, the above mentioned reasons against the
technology far outweigh this small benefit to an isolated population
segment. Just my .02
I understand where you are coming from, but so much lately has been
hoisted upon us in the name of "just another tool for law
enforcement." Because of that I will not be at all surprised
if Oregon passes this. It doesn't matter what the people want, or
what freedoms that they believe they have. Remember, this is the
same state that doesn't allow you to pump your own gas, or go to a
polling place to vote.
