    Looks like a cool app, but I have privacy concerns as it tracks everywhere you go and keeps a constant record of all things motorcycle, especially speed.

    From their website:
    I am still awaiting a reply to my email asking who else has access to the data stored.

    A subsequent app will be from Trump Inc. after a new federal law takes effect allowing tickets by mail to be issued. President elect Trump stated that this will pay for a lot of things that his loyal subjects don't have to worry aboot anymore.

    I wonder can you get a ticket from your transponder? "Your average speed on the turnpike between the time you got on to exit was 99 mph, here is your 200 dollar ticket. "

    Or if your insurance company could use the data against you in case of a claim.

    Yep. I like the premise of it, but in today's society, I am not so sure that constant tracking is what I want. But, truth be told, I have an Android phone, so that is probably already happening to the very inch of my travels.

    The guys from NZ can probably shed some light on this. I think they had traffic cams that were linked to an agency the issued tickets that was contested because it could not be proven that the rider was the actual owner of the bike. The hinge point being that the helmet obscured the face of the rider.

    Another question might be do we need those phones or have we just been convinced we need one? This premise is evidenced by a very large sale by a real estate dude of recent and the fact that home ownership is becoming less and less part of the American dream for the average person.

    Or as ET put it, "Phone Home!" Maybe the sequel slogan will be, "Phone Homeless."

    Many jurisdictions have legislation that makes a registered owner of a vehicle responsible for traffic offenses committed by anyone driving that vehicle. The only way out would be for the RO to testify in a court case against the driver and the case is successful. So be it here in BC.

    That sounds like a great way to catch bike thieves. Haul their asses into traffic court for double parking and other heinous crimes.

    Only until the court issues a subpoena for the device and the contained data as in the case of a fatality. Ten pesos says the data is stored elsewhere and might not be shared but is for sale.

    Then ya got those darn kids who just keep hacking stuff like NSA records, IBM, ect.

    I have on occasion been concerned about something a bit lower tech: Cruising the Ohio Turnpike in any vehicle, running above the posted limits. Time stamps on entry, and on exit, with no stops in between. A Distance/Time calculation is simple, and could be accomplished by the device which computes the toll. But, I have never been questioned about it. "Have a good day, sir!"

    I have heard from a source of unknown reliability that commercial drivers have been tagged in a similar manner at scales. I don't know if it is true or not but the math is correct. That is pretty much the methodology used in aircraft enforcement.

    Time/distance arithmetic is only valid if ya don't stop. Looks like there are all sort of places on the Ohio Turnpike to eat, get gas and even catch some Zzzz. Maybe the Ohio cops could give somebody in a Winnebago a ticket for going too slow if they did an overnighter at one of the stops. A judge would probably toss that out IMO.

    That will only apply if you are being charged with driving under the speed limit. You are expected to travel a known distance in a certain time. You cover that distance faster than a calculated time, you are exceeding the speed at which you are expected to travel regardless of if and for how long you stop. If you slow down for a period of time, or stop for any amount of time, and you arrive at a known distance faster than what has been pre calculated only means that you are actually going faster than what has been calculated.

    I was trained in Aircraft Speed Detection and have been to court more times than I can even estimate. Have not lost any of these cases ever. Other methods yes, but not on aircraft observations. If you can prove distance and time, accuracy of timing, target, then you pretty much have that one wrapped up nice and neat.

    But of course in a case of using an automated tolling booth, there would need to be provisions for charging the registered opener for the offense.
