All well and good when fighting crime maybe, but there aren't restrictions on selling that data to other entities. Where your cars go, when, and how fast, although newer cars report all that back anyway (see the Toyota breach recently).

Got any good how-tos for this? My old beater barely has a computer, but who knows what the future holds.

Gonna depend entirely on your vehicle. Usually there is a telematics module you can just unplug. The newer the vehicle is, the harder this will be because it may break other things. If it has a SIM card you can find it and remove it.
