That's not how civil court works, as I'm sure you're referring to filing a suit against them, for... some nebulous thing? You have to prove damages to be awarded anything in a civil court.

Theoretically let's say that they tested some remote tracking on your vehicle without your consent. What then? If you can prove there was some damage to your vehicle, great, you'll be reimbursed for it. Otherwise?

Content aside, the self-satisfaction and smug attitude of this comment is disgusting.
