I started making plans to exit my trucking company general counsel job in 1998, after our first case involving self incrimination with data pulled from an engine ECM. One really smart carrier overhauled their operating practices on the advice of their general counsel as the industry faced this new reality, and prospered. Many others didn't, and paid a price, in the case of my former employer, Chapter 11 after I was gone.

Ya, that's B/S but what are you going to do. THe manufacturers have that information available but it shouldn't be shared unless there is a search warrant involved.
