they dont need to take it. Just like in some commy states that demand pollution station checks every so many years and a passing grade to be able to get a plate. All they have to do is say before you can get a plate you have to have the device. Surprisingly with our liberal politicians michigan doesnt have any pollution police. You can do about anything to your car here without fear of getting in trouble. Probably because this is the car state. But i wouldnt doubt that changes real soon too. Id bet biden has plans for federal laws mandating pollution check stations in every state. It would be a great way for him to get about a 1/3 of those evil gas powered cars and trucks off the road.

.
  The old Soviet Union used to have escorts who would travel everywhere with visitors, not allowing them out of sight, even for the toilet issues.
   Of course, few ever visited there, who were not friends of communism or 'fellow travellers'..
   
  The Clintons visited the Soviet Union in 1969..and Bernie honeymooned there in 1988.  THe article doesn't state whether the honeymoon was with his wife, or with communism.....

Got news for you....if your vehicle was built after about 95, it's got a black box, AND in most states it's illegal to disconnect. Most often, insurance companies will retrieve crash info for withholding of payment if they can prove you have some responsibility in the crash, but it's not done frequently....yet. if your vehicle has OnStar, or something like it, you're already being tracked, whether you pay for the service or not.

OnStar did help the police find my oldest daughters stolen car. They found it in Albuquerque parked at a run down house. Full of weed , crack heads, that got them busted. The cops even had a key made by looking up the serial number, and the info they got from OnStar. So it was useful in that case.

actually started in 94. Gm was the first to use these. It wasnt until 2013 that all cars had to have them. Nobody can acess it without a court order and insurance companys cannot use the data to base a rate or rate increase on. Now that i made that stupid comment we all know who controls the courts and whos in cahoots with the insurance companies. There is no where ive seen that says disconecting it is illegal. Problem is they put it behind your steering wheel and to access it you would have to disconect the air bags which is illegal. But if you know what your doing and dont get caught with your air bag disconected you should be able to disconect it. From what i was told though it will trigger a check engine light and give a code when you disconect your air bag. Now you can use a burner to clear the code and clear the light but it will be stored in your computer for ever. So you could theroreticaly get in trouble for the air bag. but ive never heard of a single person that went to jail for disabling an air bag. Again the only way youd get caught is if your state has those commy vehicle check mandates.
