    I only have two questions. To get a loaner car she had to sign an agreement. Did she read before she signed? Was there a clause in the agreement about the cameras or about being filmed?

      Probably buried in the 500 pages of indecipherable legalize written in all capital letters with no paragraph breaks.

        Also maybe we shouldn’t be subject to the stuff at all no matter what the contract says? Maybe this shouldn’t be allowed

        Mostly I just want to know if an attempt was made to inform her, and if she actually read it versus ignoring that attempt.

        If no attempt was made, the company is at fault. If an attempt was made and it wasn’t a sincere attempt (like your example), the company is still wrong. If it was written down in the agreement in clear English and she didn’t read it, that’s kind of on her. I’m not saying it’s only her fault, just that perhaps she shouldn’t have signed the agreement. We all know these companies are trying to use our distraction, poor attention spans, and busy lives to take advantage of us.
