I then looked to see if there were ANY federal cases about the police using OnStar to spy on people. There weren't. Here is what I did find.
There was one case about Illinois police getting a warrant from a judge to track a drug dealer's truck using OnStar after the dealer had participated in a controlled buy. And one other case in Texas where some guy pressed his OnStar button by accident which led to OnStar calling the cops to make sure everything was OK. Guy was disruptive, cops searched the car and found a gun.
Ignore me if you want, and I'm sure many of you will, but there was no court case about the FBI using OnStar to track anyone. Even if they did, FBI or state police would need a warrant.

Glad you posted this.
I was just about to ask those that are so paranoid about OnStar, just how many cases they can cite where OnStar was used to 'spy' on them (or others) and use that information to proceed with any type of criminal charges.
