Here is a link to SEMA based link that is pushing the idea of OBD III. It is total nanny state stuff. Fines could basically sent straight to you without even being tested. As it's all wireless and reported from your car to regulatory beings.
years away for NZ but it's just a hint to the future. I hate it so bad,
Just thought you tech guys might be a little interested.
Best

dont worry they can already search your house with no warrant or anything in this country . in case you missed that law being passed years ago.

Thanks for the post, I'm not as confident as you that it is as many years away as you think. The technology is there now. All that would be needed to legalise access and empower the bureaucrats to use the data for enforcement is a government slightly more "nanny-state" than the current one.

yeah. number plate recognition is nothing new. Getting pulled over on a drive past plate scan is arse but this engine emission reporting is just next level crazy.
im all about moving to better things. hence Bring on the electrics for the every day & commuter.

not quite like you make it out to sound there are certain circumstances that would need to be met. Police can't just search your house. They need a warrant or strong evidence you have are hiding a offender. Guns, drugs, and a few other serious reasons

yes like that ticket you got and had to go to court to fight against the corrupt gungsters. Do you really think they need strong suspicion with the way they go about things. ohh our strong suspicion was wrong . oh well its the law after all.
they already raided the wrong house of a granny a few years ago. because some dum f. k had the wrong house number to raid . was on national tv that insident. also just on fair go the guy with his stolen bikes went 15 times to the cops . they do nothing nada he even has the name now found him self and told the cops they do nothing . I had to swich the tv off i know the coppers ar revenue gatering thugs only.

I get what your saying. a change of legislation a flick of a wrist on some idle Tuesday night and the bureaucrats make this country a shit load more revenue. We just don't do it quite yet. The big picture is very once world government. Being that every country can put the arm behind the back of everyone that drives a car that has OBD III in their car.
There I go again. Time to put my aluminum reflector beanie on

The Police have to stay inside the law. But unless you have deep pockets, when they get it wrong, or simply ignore the law the penalty is (). And like you Intrade, I have seen it personally, and I no longer have any faith in the police what so ever.
But OBDIII is worse than nothing.
I would have thought, that a decent standard, would have built a system where all manufacturers reported with, and accepted a standard for the entire electronic interface to the vehicle.
So, and independent garage could reset fault codes, do diagnostics, and so on, without needing a dozen very expensive scan tools.
They seem to have missed the obvious, to enhance the cartel.

in the last section they refer to a planned roll out of year 2000, I dont think we have to worry about this particular article but the concept still worries!
