So long as it is spelled out in advance, and you are aware of it via the employee handbook or similar, that the truck is equipped with this, it is legal. Ever walk into a company that has a sign by the door warning that audio/video surveillance is used. That tech. has been in place and in use since the 70's, companies have been sued for it as an invasion of privacy, and the lawsuits have always been dismissed.
Camera's are coming to a truck near you or Yours.

Oh, and before you challenge me on my knowledge. My background, 10 yrs of corporate security, and 11 yrs as head of a home owners association, where I have been briefed, read up on, and met with our lawyers regarding the issue of security cameras, including audio recording more times than I care to recall. There are different rules/laws for the use and installation of security cameras and audio recording for private home use, public use (surveillance in a park), corporate: internal and external. Example, a private homeowner can install security cameras on their home, without posting notice of the surveillance, but they cannot in any way face into the windows of another property, and with proper notice, your neighbor can demand to see that your cameras are not pointed into their home.
A public entity (HOA, COA), can install cameras any place they need to protect against theft, vandalism, destruction of private property, however, they must provide warning that the cameras are there. Also, for every "fake" camera, there must be one real camera. Those cameras can be pointed towards a residence, BUT they must not be able to view inside the residence, they can however be permitted to point towards a solid door, but not a solid door covered with a screen or storm door that will allow the solid door to be opened while the screen or storm door remains closed.OceanDan Thanks this. -

I dont understand how it is legal to record like this ...
Now I know its a company truck , well they dont own it but lease it.
Now , there are laws about say recording phone conversation , some states are either one party or two party concent .
so that is where I am having issues and also not to mention . This is not just a work vehicle , for some this is a bedroom, changing room, and so forth. Oh, and bathroomsorry had to say it .
So with that being said and before someone comes at me with "oh, look at mister trucker lawyer" and gets me pissed off.
I basically am not understanding how its legal to do so.....:smt102
