Gregory's Server@simonzerafa @GossiTheDog Not in the US. A private company voluntarily gave out private information. Tesla broke no laws because there are no privacy laws in the US. Worst case for Tesla is a potential civil case for violation of privacy but the Tesla "Terms and Conditions" probably cover them.

 There would be questions about the chain of custody and how the information was passed, was that secure etc. More than enough for a defence lawyer to question and raise doubts about. Also publicising this whole process might make it difficult to find a jury that isn't contaminated by reporting.  @simonzerafa @dmaonR @GossiTheDog If the suspect was still alive, yes. But also, Elon is a billionaire. He's a real person, and the rest of us are not, so they'd conveniently ignore that bit.  @dmaonR @simonzerafa @GossiTheDog The remote unlocking of a personal vehicle is more at question. To put it another way, if I sell you a property and then use my old key before you rekey the place to let police in, that’s not consent on your part. In this case, it’s a matter of public safety, so while I think police were justified in needing to get into the car, if Elon didn’t consult his lawyer(s) before opening it, that might become an issue. |
@dmaonR @simonzerafa @GossiTheDog exactly. Recently bought a Subaru and it explicitly requires that we agree that the driver and all passengers voices may be recorded and uploaded to Subaru. It sucks.
