    It’s already illegal to modify the odometer and many states have annual safety inspections where they could record such things

    The strongest arguments against smreridinf the odometer are surveillance and safety react, but if you’re only recording it once a year or when sold, then you’re not losing privacy

      See, annual inspections make it to visible. You get the bill for your road taxes all in one hit when you take your car in for maintenance, people are going to go a) Lose their minds at the price tag, b) Hit up black market solutions to “fix” their numbers. Being illegal is only a deterrence for getting caught breaking the law.
