Of course, just like a tracking system could be deployed in any car without the knowledge of someone who may wish to steal it. The question here, I suspect, is why your employer may wish to do this and why you are questioning it's very existence? It's all so 'big brother' nowadays, isn't it? One reason that a tracking system could be a problem in someones company car is when they use or deploy the vehicle beyond its remit or that of the company. Fair comment. In fact, for occupations that the user may be 'at risk'. it is a great safety tool. But, to answer your question, I suspect that to deploy such a system without your knowledge is perhaps an invasion of your rights in some way ..... after all it would be 'covert surveillance', wouldn't it? But, be truthful to yourself as to why it may be a problem for you before you question its existence!

It depends where you live. If you are in the states and it is the company car, then Yes. Employers have the freedom to do almost anything without any legal liabilities.
Employers can fire you if you smoke at your own time, if you do not excercise regularly, if you eat too much junk food, support a certain political party....
There is no protection of our personal freedom any more! and the funny thing is they claim it protects their own interests, money and value to share holders!!
Employers now track company cars to see if you are doing your job right, going to the right places. Your overall effeciency and effective contribution to the organization you work for. At least that is what they claim and it sure is legal.

Since it is a company car - it does belong to the company. They do this for two reasons: it reduces fleet insurance premiums due to the fact the car has a greater chance of being retrieved if stolen, and two so they can pass along any speeding tickets along to the driver who was driving at the time.

Yes, in todays world they may do this. Not for sure maybe some over the road truckers can answer better. Many trucks today (company trucks) have this system.
Appears to be legal and it is their property.

for a grand or 2 they most certainly can. you can get a bug detector if you really have a problem with it, and search the vehicle. about $100 for one that finds a gps signal.

If it's a company car your boss can do whatever he sees fit, if it's legal.
