Connecticut Supreme Court Slams Rental Car GPS Spy
from the so-much-for-that-plan dept
Bob Dole writes "A few years ago, it was the latest thing for rental car companies to use GPS to spy on their customers. Most of these outfits got the hint and quickly dropped the concept after a torrent of bad publicity. But just in case any company in Connecticut didn't get the message, the a state Supreme Court just ruled that no matter how much notice you give, you can't charge a customer $150 extra just because he was speeding. The state's attorney general even said, "You cannot secretly track drivers' speeds and gouge them under the guise of safety or vehicle expense" -- guess Connecticut isn't getting speed cameras any time soon. "

CT is also the land of a "speeding tax"

Pa Speeding fine menu's
My Father just used to laugh and tell us kids that the rich could afford to drive as fast as they please and to hell with the poor dumb schmucks who couldn't pay the fine.
The cops STILL will write you a ticket for "failure to obey posted traffic signals" when in reality it means "speeding" ... this way you get NO POINTS.
I always thank the officer & put my check in the mail for 105.00.
That's the deal folks, if you can afford the fee, you speed.
