Yes. The bureaucracy knows and loves us, {human unit #78,042,196} but most of all knows what's best for us. Compliance is mandatory. {human unit #78,042,196} has been docked 12 freedom units for your outburst. Please report to Central Brainwashing tomorrow between 10:30am and 10:45am at Brutalism Plaza.
It's not the place of the government to put limits like these on devices just because they want to avoid having to commit to behavioral change through enforcement and penalty.
I mean... That kind of _is_ half of their jobs, isn't it?
Dictionary definition of the word "regulation": Rules made by a government or other authority in _order to control the way something is done_ or the way people behave.
Note: Not that I necessarily agree with a gps based speed limit facility. My car displays posted speed limits on the dashboard, and it frequently shows the wrong one, from a nearby surface road or who knows what -- a nice feature but more than occasionally wrong. I do think things like top speed governors make sense though (eg. no need for street legal vehicles to go over 100mph public roads instance).
> Increase active enforcement; make penalties more severe; and treat repeat offenses like DUI.
But not limit these "devices". In general I find interference with my person MORE invasive than interference with the capacity of my devices.
Speed is constantly and accurately measured. Police love to say accidents are speed related, because that is always technically true; and it lends vain credibility to the most lucrative traffic law.
We have a similar problem with scheduled substances.
