Pay For My Gas Or Kiss My Ass
Official Petition Text
Version: 2026-05-06-driver-privacy-remote-disable

We call on Congress, state legislatures, and regulators to protect drivers from vehicle-based surveillance and abusive remote disabling.

Our cars should not secretly report our movements, driving behavior, or sensitive personal information to manufacturers, insurers, consumer-reporting agencies, lenders, data brokers, or law enforcement without real consent and strict due-process protections.

We demand laws that require a warrant for government access to precise vehicle location data, ban the sale or sharing of precise geolocation and driver-behavior data without separate opt-in consent, cap retention, guarantee deletion and export rights, and restrict remote immobilization to tightly limited emergency or owner-authorized contexts. We also demand special protections for domestic-abuse survivors whose connected-car services can be used to track them.

Road safety does not require a surveillance state. Drivers deserve safety, privacy, ownership, notice, due process, and the right to move without being constantly watched.
