Re: State Farm Insurance Co. using Google to raise rates. said by Mr Matt:  State Farm issued the policy that included the hip roof discount. and you accepted it.
I had no control of what discounts that were applied to my policy. I did not apply for or receive an explanation of the criteria for all of the discounts that I received. Those that that inferred that I lied to the insurance company have feces for brains.
Ignorance is not a defense I'm afraid to say.
The fact that the insured was given a discount and then it was rescinded does not mean the insured was cheating or not telling the truth. On the other hand it does look like the insurance company was mining Google Maps to find ways to remove discounts from their policyholders policies.
assuming that is all true, the insurance company is under no obligation to keep offering a discount of any sort. just like you are not required to stay with them. welcome to the free market. |

|  I thank you folks for demonstrating how the spinners do their dirty work. The issue was that Google Maps is being used to snoop on American Citizens. What I failed to mention was that the insurance company was at odds with state regulators about rate increases. Rather that raising rates they decided to see what discounts that THEY APPLIED to customers policies that they could remove to raise prices. I am sure that other customers have suffered the same situation.
You spinners spun the issue into, that the victim of the snooping was somehow cheating. All of you that support using new technology to abuse American Citizens privacy rights, I am sure would not mind having the police snoop through all of your homes to check for violations without a search warrant.
There have been numerous posts in this newsletter about big business is snooping on American Citizens. You spin masters have reacted in the same way as big business reacts to requests by citizens for fair treatment. They come up with some irrelevant B.S. to defend their position to raise prices or remove features or services that a consumer is receiving.
When a city tries to install a broadband network the incumbent broadband pond scum eats up the cities installation budget through frivolous lawsuits. Then the ISP's use that as an excuse to illustrate why Cities cannot afford to install broadband networks. If you spinners maintain this attitude do not be surprised when you wake up in a police state where you must supply a key to your home to the local police station just in case they want to snoop. |
