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

    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

    Kind of sounds like a landline

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

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

    They'd have to prove malice first

    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.
