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.

Supposedly GM is putting them in all of their 2004 models and there is some indication Ford has already been doing it.

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.
