Why install them if they don't plan to use them ? Doesn't pass the smell test.
Fusion site passes on the news that Hertz is putting cameras inside its rental cars as part of its "NeverLost" navigational system:
Hertz has offered the NeverLost navigational device for years, but it only added the built-in camera feature (which includes audio and video) to its latest version of the device -- NeverLost 6 -- in mid-2014. "Approximately a quarter of our vehicles across the country have a NeverLost unit and slightly more than half of those vehicles have the NeverLost 6 model installed,” Hertz spokesperson Evelin Imperatrice said by email. In other words, one in 8 Hertz cars has a camera inside -- but Imperatrice says that, for now, they are inactive. "We do not have adequate bandwidth capabilities to the car to support streaming video at this time," she said.

goatse images (and other disturbing ones) could be optically piped into the tiny camera. would be 'great fun' to send that kind of data thru the camera. you'd probably never hear back about it, but you'd still know that if anyone DID look, they'd be punished. which is a Good Thing(tm). spies should always be punished (absolutely).

Sounds like you have a fetish.
I have been a bad, bad spy. Do you want to punish me?

An excellent idea, except for DNA, bite marks, etc. With gloves, one can dispense tape "anonymously".

Sticking wads of gum on things is not illegal, is it?

I think it is in Singapore. I think it is illegal to chew gum there.
