These companies are tracking millions of cars - and Immigration and Border Patrol are using that data

The federal government can get car locations from so-called telematics providers, who can also provide information such as the speed of a vehicle or how long it stands still, warrants discovered by Forbes show.If the police know a car has General Motors OnStar on board, they know they can ask America’s largest carmaker to hand over the vehicle’s location information from the internet-connected safety and security system.

GM said it could not comment on the investigation in Arizona but noted it does “receive warrants and court orders from time to time that request vehicle data.” In early 2020, Geotab was asked to assist in providing historical location information from a freight truck that was caught carrying more than 13,000 pounds of marijuana. . After discovering the truck contained a Geotab device, an ICE HSI official asked Geotab for nearly three months’ worth of location data from the system.

What the warrants make clear is that telematics companies of any kind need to be prepared to hand over user data should the government come knocking, said Dave Maass, director of investigations at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "As more and more devices collect extensive data on our behaviors, often for purposes that improve our everyday lives, we need to make sure that law enforcement agencies do not see the mere availability of data as a free pass to access it as they see fit,” Christl added. “Law enforcement agencies accessing detailed GPS location data collected for purposes such as navigation or emergency services is highly intrusive.

I don't think they should be allowed to keep/store the data. At what point is it enough? We're tracked everywhere we go from our cars to our phones etc. what we buy... Consumers should have to OPT IN/ Check the box to these options.

Do Immigration and Border Patrol and others need a court order to get the data of a particular vehicle?

They already know we are faving this tweet. Not surprised at all

Cell phone data, too. If you have used Google traffic, Waze, etc. you've tapped their data.

Why was Trump banned?
