I was told I had to get a SR22, which is insurance. Just in case I drive someones car that doesn't have ins, I am still covered. So I wonder how big Brother will handle. does this mean I don't have to carry SR22 anymore. ????]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mitch still]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 25th 2009 12:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Database Will Expose Uninsured Drivers to Cops]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/new-database-will-expose-uninsured-drivers-to-cops/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/new-database-will-expose-uninsured-drivers-to-cops/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have you ever been involved in an accident with someone that didn't think it was necessary to carry insurance and caused the accident?

I completely agree with most of these comments, INSURANCE is required by law in California and should be. Why should we use the tools we have to enforce our laws, I pay ever month just as I should to protect myself and others.

I think this is long overdue. Criminals need to keep a low profile to hide out in society. Unless they make a mistake while driving, there's no probable cause to pull them over to see if they're wanted. Those of us  who want to feel safer out there are grateful for modern technology. We aren't afraid of it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[reader-writer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 24th 2009 8:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Database Will Expose Uninsured Drivers to Cops]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/new-database-will-expose-uninsured-drivers-to-cops/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/new-database-will-expose-uninsured-drivers-to-cops/</guid><description><![CDATA["They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin<br><br>I am so tired of making it "easier" for law enforcement to do their jobs.  It's almost as if we must all be guilty until a picture or technology proves otherwise.  I'm not worried about uninsured motorists as much as I am about unfettered big government and law enforcement.  I realize it can be exceedingly difficult if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver, but that is what having uninsured motorist insurance is about.  I don't like having to pay for that part of my insurance, but I'd rather do that than have cameras and such.  We lose the human aspect of things.  A person might be temporarily in the middle of changing insurance, a person might have lost a job, a person might be on the way to an emergency, etc.  Many reasons are out there, but technology removes the human aspect.  Pictures and technology don't lie, but there might be mitigating circumstances.  Just because a driver is or isn't insured will not prevent accidents.  Nor will we be safe from underinsured, inexperienced, or under the influence drivers.  Shall we install breathalyzers in ever car?  Shall we install shut-offs for anyone that makes an errant movement that could cause an accident?  Why not just get super tech and completely control the movements of our cars like a kiddie carnival ride?  Personal responsibility is lacking in our society!  We back up using cameras and when we accidentally hit something, it is the camera's fault and not our inability to rely on our own senses while utilizing technology.  Technology is not fail-proof.  It's a tool, but we tend not to use it as such when we can make revenue from it!  Especially law enforcement and government!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LISA]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2009 4:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on New Database Will Expose Uninsured Drivers to Cops]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/new-database-will-expose-uninsured-drivers-to-cops/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/24/new-database-will-expose-uninsured-drivers-to-cops/</guid><description><![CDATA[Obama administration is using every possible angle to get the people believing this is for their good.
