Short video, basically any truck with an engine newer than 2000 will have to register, and also allow for even their engine to be monitored. The new regulations have caused quite the stir, as the ELD regulations require apparently 24/7 while in the cab monitoring. They know when you drive, when you idle, and just about everything else..

When I say everything else, apparently with this monitoring, they themselves are monitored; as their personal information is uploaded as well.
Many are concerned about their privacy; obviously.

Could be about time some of these knights of the road were brought down a peg or two anyway..

Long haul truckers make ideal serial killers .. they are out at night when there is little or no supervision, they pick up victims in one state murder them in another and dump the body in still another, which makes it tough for law enforcement when different police departments are working on each murder in different jurisdictions across the country.

Rest areas, truck stops and travel plazas have prostitutes and drug dealers wandering about looking for business, when you are on the highway or at a rest stop you don't know who the stranger in the next truck might be, the FBI's Highway Serial Killings Initiative or HSK has identified more than four hundred suspects and seven hundred and fifty of their victims since the initiative began. Link.

This new regulation will enable the FBI to find out which truckers were at which truck stops when disappearances took place .. very soon suspects will be identified where after interviews should take place, arrests made, trials conducted and executions scheduled.

I have to say, I don't think the FBI, or any federal agency really cares. Beyond that, this will hardly make a dent in murder rates; perhaps it'll aid in framing innocent people. More so though, if you think this will stop at truckers, you're sorely mistaken. https://www.technologyreview.com/the-download/613045/the-pentagon-wants-smartphones-to-track-how-you-strut/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=tr_social&utm_campaign=site_visitor.unpaid.engagement
