Connecticut Supreme Court hits car rental company for GPS spying

The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled against car rental company
Acme Auto in a case over the companyÂ’s practice of charging drivers
fees for “excessive speeding”. See, the rental company had the bright
idea to trick out its cars with a GPS device that would keep track of
any instances of speeding, and then charge customers an extra $150
everytime they topped out over 79 mph. The company did actually
notify customers of the fee— although it seems to have been fairly
well hidden in the contract—not that it matters since State Supreme
Court said that the fees were illegal regardless of whether or not
drivers were aware of them.

I guess that's blown the Colorado franchise deal Judy was working
on...

Nice to see a court that can actually interpret a law properly.
