Repeal Big Governments Rear View Camera Mandate

Trigger


Living In A Nanny State Like The U.S.

For decades, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and/or the federal government have been meddling way too much with the automobile sector of the U.S. This agency has issued tons and tons of regulations to strangulate the industry and to stymie innovation.

As if the federal government is still reading Ralph Nader’s controversial book “Unsafe at any speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile” published in 1965 every 24 hours.

What’s Wrong With Rear Camera Mandate?

Short answer: A lot!

As is often the case, it sounds convincing at first!

Simply unconstitutional! It is a violation of private property rights and freedom of contract for the purported benefit of more safety.

Second, by promulgating such a federal mandate future innovation will be stifled. What if lasers or radar turns out to be better?

Finally, and not least important let the consumers decide and demand whether they want such a feature or not. I personally like a rear view camera. It has its benefits.
