One of the scenes that stood out to me in Minority Report was when the "powers that be" decided to take over Anderton's vehicle and reroute it to what I presume was the nearest police station. In the current non-fiction world the vast majority of new and new-ish cars are accessible remotely and can be rendered in-operable by the company, a hacker or law enforcement. Of course this has been sold to the public under the guise of "safety", "convenience" and "reducing crime". However; those of us who understand what is going on, knows that it is only a small step to "suppressing political actions we don't approve of".
Now recently in Canada we got a good view of where the state would go when it deemed it a "national emergency" but the example I'm posting here is what's in store for us in the future:
US Freedom Convoy Trucker Left Stranded After Penske Corporation Turns Off Power Remotely to His Rental Truck
"Sandberg was heading to Washington DC with the Freedom Convoy truckers.
Penske shut down his vehicle on the road and later released a statement on how the company does not support the freedom protests."
While it is certainly Penske's right to express a disagreement with the Freedom Convoy, but what business was it of theirs if Sandberg did? He rented a truck from them. As far as I know renting a vehicle doesn't mean the rental agency is endorsing (or not endorsing) said function. it is literally none of their business so long as no laws are being broken.
See, this nonsense started with financial institutions but it will inevitably branch out to everything. This is why there is a push for digital identities and digital cash. Once you are tied into the system with no means of transacting, interested parties will simply cut you off (and literally immobilize you) if you are non-compliant. Monday's GGTV episode will discuss this in more detail.
But how long till that vehicle you leased, that appears to be traveling to some protest the lienholder doesn't agree with is immobilized? How about they decide to immobilize the vehicle prior to the event. You know, just in case. Or maybe, since you wrote something online, your vehicle is immobilized and repossessed?
If this action by Penske can stand, then all of those scenarios can stand. After all, if you don't own it, it's not yours.
