I was just being silly but yes big brother has had that technology built into cars for years. I don't believe the original intention for the technology was to monitor your whereabouts and infringe on your personal business, I think that was an after thought. I want to believe this technology is in place for the convenience of the owner not Big Brother.
Its my understanding thought that (I could be wrong, I never verify anything) years ago a law was pass that would require auto manufactures to include a "shut down" feature to all cars produce starting on XX/XX/XX date. I don't know when but I am going to guess all cars build within the past 4-5 years all posses that same technology. That includes your less expensive economy cars as well. Some day the officer will not need to tell you to pull over, he will just send a signal to your vehicle and the on board computers will pull over for you like it or not. No more exciting car chases on the local news.

Me too. Although I'd just as easily believe alarm sensors or NSA recording devices. I wonder where the mic actually is then?
