Car Subscription Features Raise Your Risk of Government Surveillance, Police Records Show

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

More than two dozen police records reviewed by WIRED show US law enforcement agencies regularly trained on how to take advantage of “connected cars” Subscription-based features drastically increase the amount of data that can be accessed during investigations.

The records make clear that law enforcement’s knowledge of surveillance far exceeds that of the public.

A Fifth Circuit ruling last year placed the capability in great jeopardy, concluding that a warrant to “geofence” an area and collect evidence from a wide variety of individuals is inherently unconstitutional.

The results are more or less identical: offering police a dragnet with which to accumulate vast amounts of location data on individuals.
