We were a Constitutionally Limited, Democratic Representative Republic.

Ah, then I concede the point.
You're all screwed; soon you will not be able do as much as drive your kids to school without being arrested for talking about government conspiracies in your car. The government is going to listen to every single one of you, all day, all night.
Hardly.
It is very rare that what you are talking about will happen to
you. If you do not want the terrorists, crack houses, serial killers - what ever else - to be brought down, then ban On-Star from existence.
Or, you can realize that it is a service, meant to help grandma find her way to the nearest Sobey's, or get her keys out of her locked escalade. I think you're blowing this way out of proportion and everyone needs to take a second to think about this - if On-Star saves 500 lives a year by eliminating high-speed chases (via disabling the horsepower with on-star), is your paranoia blinding you from the simplicity behind on-star? The government will always have a way to monitor you, but does the good behind on-star or other technologies like it not balance it out?
Or what is your end opinion? Should we just say no to on-star?
The funny part is - I would never pay to have it. I know my grandma would love it - and fortunately, she isn't wanted by police.
