With Jesse Ventura's show, I think that would be a very good idea for his safety. IDK if what he says is true, but if it is, then he is doing the smart thing. But I do have a thread about a guy who was, in my opinion, very paranoid, but had a great point about Onstar. But even if you do take out the Onstar or get a car not equipped with it, the government can pretty much do what they want and can sometimes get away with it. Onstar would be very useful, if only it wasn't for the government invading our privacy for "our protection".

For me, at first Onstar was quite a feature to have. A year & a half after buying the car, I have slightly less than 230 minutes on the phone, and have never really used the onstar. So Onstar wouldn't be that big of a deal to me if I bought another car.

Here's the thread that I mentioned (Check out the article in the original post): http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f81/f...i-found-11359/

But even if you disabled the Onstar, the government has other ways of tracking or eavesdropping on you: Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back | Threat Level | Wired.com

In other words, with the level of technology, and irregardless if it's government or non-government, anyone good with a computer could spy on you and you would never know it.
