But I agree that it does bring up difficult questions.
I get your point and the overall intention is public safety, but I can tell you that OnStar came and went, and we rarely utilized it. LoJack tracking more or less came and went as well. It was just so cost prohibitive or logistically cumbersome with varying degrees of success.
