Today I learned that police can use GM's OnStar to remotely control a vehicle they are tracking. From the Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) report on shooting a man chased in a 2 day manhunt in Temagami in Oct 2025: "OPP communications coordinated with OnStar to track a pick-up truck, receiving intermittent GPS updates indicating the vehicle was moving and later stationary near Highway 11. OPP crews attended and set up a containment site at Roosevelt Road and Highway 11. The Complainant’s vehicle was sighted approaching the containment and then reversing away. Authorization was provided to OnStar to initiate a gradual slowdown of his vehicle." The SIU report (case #25-PFI-401): https://siu.on.ca/en/directors_report_details.php?drid=4923 Many articles online about how US CBP/ICE and FBI have been making use of this. #OnStar #Surveillance #ACAB #SIU #OPP #Temagami #Policing #GPS #Ontario
