Will they be getting warrants to get Onstar to interfere? If not, unconstitutional.

“Will they be getting warrants to get Onstar to interfere? If not, unconstitutional.”

The current plan, as described, is that they will use it only AFTER the car is reported stolen, so whoever has it, is in process of committing a crime, so the police has the right to stop them.

BUT... the implications for other uses is obvious.

Also, I bet most car chases do not involve stolen cars.

You really need to read up on the law and the Constitution. There is such a thing as exigent circumstances. A criminal using deadly force against the public (Attempting to outrun the police with a 2000 lb vehicle is deadly force) then officers have a right to stop the vehicle.
