California Lawmakers Propose Requirement
for New Cars to “Beep” When Over Speed Limit

Original Article

California’s crime-friendly environment has led to numerous Legal Insurrection reports of smash-and-grab robberies, Beverly Hills becoming a ghost town, piracy in Oakland Bay, and a constant stream of organized retail theft. (snip) The California Senate recently passed SB 961, a measure which would require “passive speed limiters” to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in the Golden State by 2032. The motion, introduced by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would make California the first state in the nation to enact the safety requirement, which is similar to a law in the European Union that is set to take effect in July.

If this ever passes you can bet YouTube will be full of how-to videos on how to eliminate the beeping. Will there ever be an end to leftists trying to insert themselves into our lives?

Not every car has GPS to know its location nor wireless access to know the speed limit posted at that point. Foolish virtue signaling by our political slave owner 'Masters'.

After this, it won’t be long until that one time beep turns into a constant blare, and then an automatic correction to below the speed limit. Only a matter of time.

In a couple of years they’ll make the beep longer and louder, and eventually replace it with a recording of your mother telling you to slow down or no tv tonight.

California: Where your children are no longer your children, and the car you purchased is no longer your car. It's the Communist way. How long before your car turns itself off for the week after driving X number of miles? Al in the name of 'Saving the Planet'.

Uh....my cars have no idea where they are or what the speed limit might be. Sorry to disappoint these little power mad junior nazis. Find the GPS antenna and clip the wire and this system won't know where it is, if they install it. But, finding the beeper an clipping those wires would be workable, too.

How many now that there are ALREADY speed limiters built into many high performance modern cars? Now they are currently set to pretty high numbers, IIRC the lowest are something well above 100 mph, but there are already guys who know how to hack into the car computers for these to remove these factory speed limiting software programs. There will be ways to disable this stuff, but it's a shame that we can't disable the thugs who want this installed, instead.

I drove a rental car with a speed limiter. Unfortunately, it was the only car on the highway that had one. Driving on the highway was a nightmare. Flow of traffic was 75-80. The car I was driving was limited to 65, making me an absolute road hazard. I can't tell you how many cars and trucks sped up behind me in the right lane and honked loudly because I was going so slow and due to traffic, they were stuck behind me. Speed limiters are DANGEROUS!! They don't take into affect flow of traffic speeds, speeds going downhill, passing speeds and other factors required for highway driving. This is why I will never sign up for my insurance to monitor my speed and driving. They aren't in the car with me, they have no idea of the traffic I am seeing and they aren't worried in the slightest about the semi driving slightly faster than the posted speed limit that is glued to my bumper, urging me to go faster!!

Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.

The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed an amendment as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025. The amendment H.R. 8070 will automatically register all draft-age male U.S. residents with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft, based on information from other Federal databases. This new system of automatic draft registration would replace the existing system, in place since 1980, in which young men have the freedom to decide whether or not to sign up for the draft. According to People’s World, the automatic draft registration proposal was initiated by the Selective Service System (SSS) as part of its annual budget request to Congress.

Democrats plan to disrupt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a special joint session of Congress on July 24 in an unprecedented show of hostility to the democratically-elected leader of a close American ally. 56 Democrats boycotted Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, when Republicans invited him to argue against then-President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. This time, Axios reports, “Democrats plan to go bigger than a boycott”: The proposals include a press conference, a vigil, or an event with families of those taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom feel Netanyahu hasn’t done enough to free their loved ones.

The United States Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s 2018 ban on bump stocks in a Friday ruling, with Justice Clarence Thomas writing the majority opinion in a 6-3 decision. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) issued the ban at former president Donald Trump’s urging after the gunman who killed 58 people in a 2017 Las Vegas shooting was found to have used bump stocks, which increase a rifle’s rate of fire by using the recoil from a semiautomatic rifle to fire bullets in rapid succession. The Trump administration argued in 2018 that adding bump stocks to semiautomatic rifles converts them into machine guns
