I would throw that app on a burner phone and leave it plugged in 24-7 in a desk.

Hide it on a bus

These apps are so bad they have recorded people "hard braking" when they are home watching TV (just check the Play store for any of them and read the reviews)... there is no way this isn't ripe for abuse

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they just randomly select a few customers every once in a while to raise their premiums.

Kind of sounds like a landline

[-] Cornpop@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

You must have one crazy landline if it lets you install apps on it.

[-] Cornpop@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Ha those are indeed some crazy landlines! That’s really funny.

Isn’t everyone’s phone also their refrigerator?

[-] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I got rid of mine because I kept mixing up the receiver and the ice dispenser

I think these companies enforce compliance by hiding behind the fact that insurance fraud is a felony most places.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

They'd have to prove malice first

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Well most of the suggestions in this thread constitute malice.

I think it’d be pretty easy to argue that something is fishy when the phone that’s supposed to be tracking your driving wasn’t with you on the date of your accident and hasn’t moved since you started your policy.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I'm waiting for an app that feeds their app fake data on that burner phone.

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Lmao you're giving me ideas
