Tell me friend, would you care to phrase that as a wager ?

Yes but this takes time and money and at the end of the day, what defence can you offer to a computer record that you speeded up to 70 in a 60 zone (apart from the fact that you were overtaking a slow moving vehicle ?)

No, I can see the good in them. But the problem is I can also see the capacity for abuse. Do you really want the government to be able to know exactly where you are every minute of everyday? The real problem is that the people that are supposed to be restrained by these things i.e. the criminals are the same people who will in a VERY short time circumvent them (what the hell, its only one more crime, in for a penny, in for a pound) so that means that the only people that will suffer will be poepl like me and you, the police will spend even more time chasing after use for breaking some obscure by-law because that pushes the crime stats up.
