A small shaped charge of C4 on the Black Box, coupled to the airbag deployment circuit should take care of the tinfoil hat worries.

Can we revive this question? I just saw something on the news in regards to a possible court case.

I disabled the LAN, modem, and antenna feeder on my 2020 to limit the tracking.

Is there anyway I can find out if there is one installed on my 2000 F150?
The only time the black box gets accessed is when the vehicle is in a horrific accident

And even then we obtained a search warrant to access data recorders if charges were even "just" anticipated.

Not all fatalities involved criminal charges ... like for example ... when the culpable party fled the jurisdiction.
