Yep, I seen people in a RV group talk about these. Some Walmart stores are using them on truck drivers and RVers who stay over the night. I believe it's a contractor Walmart hires though, not actual Walmart employees. I think it's insane a private company is even allowed to do this stuff, and some people said they'd yank it off and if their windshield cracked put a claim in with the companies insurance company.

However I don't think private booting or these devices is legal in every state or even varies by city in some states. Someone was sleeping inside, woken up after they put on the device and they wanted 500 dollars to remove the device. I'm surprised some truck driver in the South like Texas that's more gun friendly doesn't get woken up thinking he's being robbed and ends up shooting one of these contractors by mistake. There's stories where people have mistakenly woke up and even shot their own family who came home too late thinking someone was breaking in, so surprised this hasn't happened yet if someone is really tired and startled not realizing what's happening yet. Probably would be a big highly profiled national case if something like that happen though, and people who aren't a fan of all this parking stuff probably would side with the trucker, so doubt they'd be impartial enough. I don't think parking enforcement would be a job I'd enjoy, probably so many angry people daily, and not sure if I'd want to work alone at night in a dark parking lot waking up people, especially with the trucking shortage.
