I think the reason SS & IT get a pass is that they need to keep the battery in the stock location. It's not as easy to figure out a place to mount a power shutoff switch when the battery is under the hood. I, as a driver, want to be able to shut the power off as well as a corner worker but I also don't want to have to run all that extra cable from the battery to inside the car and then back out.

Personally I don't see why IT isn't allowed to relocate the battery. With all the other things that you are allowed to do to the car the fact that you can't relocate the battery is strange?
