A fine issued by a Connecticut rental car company, Acme, has sparked a large privacy debate. The Rent-a-Car recorded a driver speeding three times and issued a fine of $450. Acme recorded this information via a Global Positioning System which allows them to track the vehicle's location, notify the company when the car has crossed into another country or state, alert for "excessive speed," and even disable the car remotely.
The driver of the car is suing Acme for the price of the fine, and the decision has not yet been made by the Department of Consumer Protection.
The outcome of this is somewhat serious, because after decisions are made, other judges sometimes look at these as a "common law" setting the pace for similiar cases. Catch the full story here.
