They've been doing this for years

GM has been putting black boxes in random vheicles for years. During a crash it records everything from G-forces to if the seat belts where on. It even records sound for the last 15 seconds or so. Apparently the most frequent thing someone said immediately before a crash was "Oh *****", with the exception of crashes in Texas. In Texas the most common statement before a crash was
"hold my beer! and watch this!".

that was just a joke.

A serious abuse of the United States Constitution - 4th Amendment.

Actually no, unless the companies are an arm of the federal, state or local government.

I'm surprised more people haven't sued GM for their invasion of privacy

The right to remain silent.....

The constitution protects us against self-incrimination. Totally NOT admissable in court.
