In the case here, I think the owner gave permission. I'd do the same thing. I'm not a bleeding heart liberal by any means, but technology like this can be used to effectively shut down the Bad Guy is good by me. I guess I have worked in a law enforcement organization too long, but there are way too many BGs out there and any tool the LE can use without infringing on my personal rights and space to assist them in thier work is ok by me.
Technology is always pushed under the guise of "getting the bad guy". But soon enough it starts infringing on your rights.
If you are speeding, doesn't that make you "the bad guy"? The cops should just disable your car to ticket you rather than risk a high speed chase or injury. If the cops have that ability, and do not use it, and someone rich/important gets killed, maybe there'll be a lawsuit to impel them.

Well said, These are the things that worry me. What s the real reason (not being said) behind the reasons being explained that these are good things for us to have.
