From the article:

Honda Canada spokesperson: "Without an active subscription, the police would have to present a warrant to activate the location services on the vehicle and no such warrant was provided. At no time was Honda or its HondaLink provider aware of the location of this vehicle."

Right, but as a matter of business policy. I'm speaking as a matter of legal precedent. (Which may be applicable in this case, just not explicitly stated.)

Top level comment suggested a right to charge for costs incurred, irrespective of having a warrant.

If you interpreted my comment that way I apologize, but that's not what I said. I said the owner could pay for the service OR the police could get a warrant. In no way was I attempting to suggest the police need a warrant AND still have to pay.

Apologies, I see that now. I read it as speaking on a right to be paid for services rendered, which I don't disagree with.

Although I'm still curious as to any case law.
