HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP) -- A car rental company that used satellites
to track customers and fine speeders $150 was ordered Wednesday to stop
the practice and refund an estimated $13,000 or more.

"This just wasn't fair," state consumer protection Commissioner
James T. Fleming said. "It is not a car rental company's job to enforce
the speed limit in any state."
