"Cartapping has been happening for years — in a 2014 warrant, New York police officials were able to pull SiriusXM Satellite location information. The police asked SiriusXM to install a tracker in the vehicle’s car, which was up for an alleged illegal gambling enterprise, for a period of 10 days. But how exactly could they tap into the vehicle?

IANAL but using a 'stolen vehicle recovery feature' for a warrant doesn't sound like something that should be legal.
