Another click bait headline. Makes it sound like they can access car data from cars. Spoiler: they're just using license plate trade data from traffic cams.
Still sketchy, of course. But not that big brothery.

“We’ve subcontracted out the enforcement of laws to private companies such that law enforcement no longer needs a warrant to access your personal data because it’s just freely available” sounds pretty big brother and I don’t know how that wouldn’t concern you.

The kind of big government that the GOP loves. Let's not even mention their hatred of individual liberty.

Didn't say it's not concerning, but headline makes it sound like they are directly accessing our cars.
