“Fourteen states have passed laws that say that, even though the data belongs to the vehicle’s owner, law enforcement officials and those involved in civil litigation can gain access to the black boxes with a court order.

Privacy advocates have expressed concern that the data collected will only grow to include a wider time frame and other elements like GPS and location-based services.”
