A Seattle-based appellate judge ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors.
But the appellate judge ruled Tuesday that the interception and recording of mobile phone activity did not meet the Washington Privacy Act’s standard that a plaintiff must prove that “his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation” has been threatened.
Privacy violations ARE A THREAT. Identity theft is a massive threat. Any man in the middle attack is a threat.
Federal judges are corrupt as fuck. I bet that was a Trump appointee.
Basically the judge said the plaintiff could not show any harm done to them. Someone who has been arrested based on this could definitely sue and get it stopped.
What the fuck is wrong with that judge?
Judges are supposed to rule based on what the law says, not what they think is a good idea. Most likely the law is just inadequate.
Fuck no. The judges interpretation is bullshit.
