He asked for an example, and this provided a perfect one "of someones OnStar history being used against them" doesn't it?

Yup, it is. There are probably more examples like that out there even if we have not heard about many. It isn't upsetting me much that the kid got nailed with the help of OnStar. Destruction of property is not a victimless crime. If LEAs use it that way we should not be too concerned. If it was your front yard that was all torn up you would be glad they cought the perp.
At the same time, it would be a big strech to say that authorities are monitoring OnStar customers to detect crime. Its not like a guy was speeding then got a ticket because OnStar notified the authorities who were otherwise unaware of the infraction. That stuff isn't happening.
