But the issue is that means you're putting a expensive technology upwards of several thousand dollars increase in the cost of automobiles into cars that is surveilling you by definition.

Now they will say, oh, don't worry about it.

It's just checking eye movement.

It's not collecting data.

It's not going to be used against you.

Well, yes it is.

I mean, first of all, you're going to then prevent, let's say you're a woman being chased by somebody and you run into your car and you're nervous and frenetic and scared.

and you want to start your car and you can't start your car like it's mind-blowing that we would allow that to occur rather than just saying look if you're caught caught drinking and driving you lose your license for 10 years and pay a 10 000 fine like like there are ways to do things to make sure that you follow the law we've been winning that battle on drunk driving but now we're going to put this kind of technology which by the way

will be expansive in terms of its surveillance capability.

You are effectively putting cameras in your car to track your movements, track what you're doing, and no doubt record what you're doing and then ultimately be used against you in something, to me, that is nefarious with respect to the Fourth Amendment.

I mean, this is, you know, it's dystopia.

I mean, you really can't believe that we're allowing the very things that were predicted in 1984 and other, you know,

and we're now going, oh yeah, let's just do this.

Let's just go ahead.

Let's give all the power to the government.

And look, this is why I've been arguing to say we need more reforms in FISA.

We got some good reforms two years ago, but we need to go further for more warrant protections.

And look, I was sitting in the Oval Office having this conversation with the president, and I don't talk about private conversations, but he is rightly trying to balance as Commander-in-Chief the need for 702 to go get information on bad actors abroad.

with the need to protect our privacy here.

And he wants to get that balance.
