Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.
Yeah, I’ve heard of OnStar helping a lot of people with stolen cars, after accidents, etc. Not the government taking control of cars from their lawful owners. But it wouldn’t be Reddit if we didn’t spice things up with some paranoia and complaints about America.

It’s worse, if the cops can do it anyone can do it. It just a matter of finding the keys.
All Onstar equipped vehicles? or only OnStar subscribers
because I know precisely no one that actually pays the subscription
There was a story a while back about a stolen car with a baby in the back seat.
OnStar wouldn’t help because the owner hadn’t paid.
Wait, no, that was Volkswagen
OnStar wouldn’t help with a baby locked in a car
This post is like a roller coaster of news.
