Come on, it's five seconds of data. Theoretically it could be more, but that's where regulation comes in.
It's easy. IF you're an idiot and cause an accident because you were doing the wrong thing THEN you deserve to be charged. I doubt it'll be used for minor traffic misdemeanors, only in cases where fatalities have occured. Now, if someone in my family was killed and the bastard that did it was breaking the law, if one of these things was the only bit of evidence that proved he did it, what should happen? Should he just claim he didn't know about it, and walk? I doubt it.
Car manufacturers have never denied the existance of these. Anyone that cared enough could have easily found out about it. It's not some government conspiracy, it's an invention that will save lives in the long run, and punish those who deserve it.
