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.

An excellent idea, except for DNA, bite marks, etc. With gloves, one can dispense tape "anonymously".
"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you."

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.

Vandalism is unlawful. Illegal is a sick bird. (groan).
Thanks. I'll be here all week (weak?).
