"Well Mr Smith, we were checking your carbon emissions and noticed that you were doing 56 in a 55 200 times last year." That could never happen, right? "Any evidence found should be inadmissible anyway." Should? Yeah. "I would think of this as a mobile stop light camera (and ignoring any arguments about the ethics of their use). You are caught committing an alleged crime in public for all to see. " Going 65 in a 55 on an interstate is in the public and all other drivers on the highway see the action. "That is different than having your vehicle computer records searched for no good reason. One is passive. The other is active and intrusive." According to you. What about bureaucrats who make the rules and want/need money to continue funding whatever programs are being funded? Do you trust these bureaucrats to make the right decision?
