General Motors (GM) has inserted a technology in many of their vehicles called OnStar. OnStar is a GPS device that tracks data from individual vehicles, such as speed, location, and seat belt usage. In September 2011, it was reported that GM sells this information about their customers’ vehicles to insurance companies and law enforcement agencies. The use of this technology and the sharing of GPS data can assist law enforcement in the recovery of stolen vehicles. It also was reported, however, that OnStar can continue to collect this GPS data even if the GM customer opts to turn off the OnStar service. Some argue that this is a violation of the right to privacy. Others argue that individuals who buy a vehicle with this built-in technology have given tacit (or implied) consent for the use of the personal information that it obtains.
For this assignment, think about technologies that law enforcement might use to apprehend criminals and any privacy issues related to those technologies. Then consider whether individuals who choose to use technology have given tacit consent for the use of personal information.
