Is it OK for a rental car company to track you with a GPS system and charge you money every time you speed?
Recently, a man rented a car from a rental car company and took a trip. The car had a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) system installed in the car. Every time he was caught speeding his debit card was charged $150. He was caught speeding 3 times and incurred charges of $450. He signed a contract that stated this would happen. He is now fighting the charges in court.

| sequel | needs work | posted 6-Jul-2001 4:02pm It seems to me that the actual question and the explanation text are quite different -- I want to answer "yes" it could be ok for this to be done, but I don't know if I want to answer "yes" to this particular example... |
