Several European Union (the European member of the evil Trilateral Commission) news outlets are reporting that a secretive pro-police agency called European Network of Law Enforcement Technologies Services (ENLETS) has revealed they’ve been working on creating a remote kill switch for all vehicles in the EU.

Soon all ground vehicles in the EU will be required to have such a kill switch installed.  Critics are pointing out that there is no evidence that European police need such a kill switch. If you’ve lived in the EU you’d know that most roads don’t lend themselves to high speed chases.  Also, critics point out that European police have been conducting ever increasing random vehicle checkpoints, forcing drivers to stop anyway (Did you know that in Germany the Polizei conduct sobriety checkpoints looking for people who use prescription drugs, or even non-prescription cold medication?).

The EU’s Standing Committee on Operational Cooperation on Internal Security  (COSI, the EU’s version of Homeland Security) approved the remote kill switch idea.

I’ve read reports that similar technology is already being used by EU vehicle sellers who use it to disable cars whose owners failed to make the car payments.  In some cases it not only disables the car, but causes the horn to go off until the owner makes a payment!
