"it doesn't say 'kill switch'. it says 'advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology'"

utterly deboonked

I have no issues going to any lengths preventing drunk people from driving.

and I have no problem with outright lynching the pedofiles. let us all wear bodycams and install CCTV in every home to protect the children

The next time CCTVs and bodycams are used to catch a criminal, perhaps you can volunteer to be the one telling the victims family about liberty and government over-reach.

In any case, we already have existing tech that is serving as a technological deterrent for drunk driving. The legislation doesn't explicitly say so, but I am imagining an expansion of this program. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_interlock_device

yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. let's start slowly, only requiring a camera in the living room. then some time later, let's seek out incidents that had occurred in bathrooms, run them in the news every week to prime the masses, then they'll ask us themselves to mandate cameras in all bathrooms as well.

all detractors will be branded as pedophiles, of course
