Comment on Honda Refuses to Track Stolen Accord Because Owner Didn't Pay for HondaLink

I don’t see a problem here. It isn’t free for Honda to staff the call center and maintain the tech that allows them to do this.

Regardless of subscription payment or not, if they gather evidence of a crime, they must release such information to the police if presented by a warrant. Illegal tracking is another issue.

They offered to do that if presented with a warrant

I don't see a problem here. It isn’t free for Crassus to staff his fire brigade and maintain the chariots that allow him to do this.

If the government wants to set up a tax structure to pay Honda for its call center staffing, the government is perfectly able to do so modulo things like votes and whatnot.
