The NZ coalition government has been pushing for surveillance of every vehicle in the country^[1]. With no opt out manual option this will record the location and movements of everyone who drives and damage classic cars by fixing devices into their dashboards and wiring looms. Freedom of movement is at stake. Freedom of association is at stake. This is invading people’s privacy in NZ. The status quo system could be extended to all vehicles just as it was extended from diesels to EVs last year. However the government is intending to remove the option to do things as they're done now forcing every vehicle to have a device installed or be non compliant and subject to fines or criminal charges along the lines of fraud or theft.
