6 months of data would be massive... Most black boxes used in passenger cars to record crashes only record seconds to minutes before the data pull.
I was just saying if they don't have a warrant the cop couldn't just plug in to the data port and prove you were speeding, not wearing seatbelt, failed to completely stop at a stop sign, etc.
IMO Black box information should be protected under the 5th amendment so the information can't be used against you unless you specifically give permission to pull the data. However I don't see it being protected under the 5th because it isn't you that is incriminating you its an object. Therefore it should be protected by the 4th amendment... i.e. against illegal search and seizure. What they will try to do is say the data isn't a "thing" so it isn't protected. It's a complicated fight with way too many gray areas.
