The police probably already had evidence that it was his dad's denali, they just supoenaed onstar for proof and to confirm the identity of the driver.

At the same time, it would be a big strech to say that authorities are monitoring OnStar customers to detect crime. Its not like a guy was speeding then got a ticket because OnStar notified the authorities who were otherwise unaware of the infraction. That stuff isn't happening.

Exactly, it was used after the fact. Not only that many newer GPS systems keep records as well.
