Proposed CA bill would electronically restrict cars from going 10mph over speed limit
California Senator Scott Wiener is introducing a new set of bills to make streets safer across the state, including one that would change how you drive.

This tech should be developed and used to stop chase vehicles. Also if it is used to stop people from going 10 over then we shouldn't have cops checking people's speed anymore.
Come to Omaha, where they already don't.
Well, city cops don't. State patrol ain't got shit to do and will absolutely fuck up your day. But they don't leave I80.
Despite all the chest-beating and holier-than-thou bullshit they spout whenever there's a high profile traffic incident or chase, not a single police department on Earth actually gives a fuck about enforcing traffic regulations for "safety." Maybe at some point in history, but no anymore. In modern times, traffic stops have only two aims in mind for police departments: Money, in the form of reliance on fines and citations for their budget; and as a pretext to harass, intimidate, search, and otherwise attempt to violate the 4th amendment rights of sections of the population they don't like.
The police will vehemently oppose any mechanism or proposal that will in any way limit the volume of traffic stops they initiate and number of tickets they write. Even if it is demonstrably "for safety."
They dont violate the 4th amendment.
