to find crime, terrorists, intelligence info & give them legal & political power over people. All governments like those things. So it's not surprisi ng that mobile phone operators are legally required to grant governments ac cess to the data streams. And it would surprise me if available vehicle dat a streams were not subject to much the same law.
criminal, which plainly is not what's going on in this case.
to provide access is a technological issue, not a legal one. In the old da ys when the only digital voice was on microwave links (which are easy to ta p, btw) the government needed a warrant from the court and access to your w ire pair. As more and more of the voice network became digital this access became harder and harder to come by. The phone companies didn't want to s eem like they were helping to snoop on their customers, so they encouraged legislators to pass a law requiring carriers to provide access ports to the government. So in every switching center there is a closet where with a c ourt order a government person can get access to the phone calls covered by that order. This was simply required by the advance of technology.
er. Tesla runs into this often. They cooperate with the authorities, but not without legal protections.
I can only conclude you're talking about America
