Soviet Russia Ashcroft’s America :

An appeals court this week put the brakes on an FBI surveillance technique that turns an automobile driver’s on-board vehicle navigation system into a covert eavesdropping device, after finding that the spying effectively disables the system’s emergency and roadside assistance features.

…the court ruled the spying’s fine so long as it doesn’t interfere with the emergency systems.

Another advantage to bicycling! Let’s see them pull this shit with my navigation system .
