Camera's are coming to a truck near you or Yours.

Get back to me when such a case involving theses audio recording-driver facing cameras loses a case in court. Have a nice day Mr No Answer.

 

The tape is key. With a well written piece of software, its possible to turn the camera on and control it even when device manager shows that its disabled. But nothing can get around tape over the lens. Manually defeating the built in mic is more difficult but blocking its port with tape usually helps.

 

Don't worry I will. You do the same when these things are in the majority of trucks and no such cases ever materialize.

 

Do I have actual board certified study data? No of course not. But I would wager that no one making the opposite claim, i.e. that companies lose cases every day, has any proof of that either.

And if we're really going to pick nits over it, I suspect it would a heck of lot easier for me to provide anecdotal evidence of my claim, say business publications which contain lots of articles about companies being sued but very few articles about companies losing those suits for example, than it would anyone to provide any kind of proof that a corporate legal case is lost by a company every single day. Honestly its ridiculous to even consider discussing such a thing.

 

I don't agree with cameras facing drivers either.

That being said, the only time it would ever be looked at would be if there was an incident, or accident that required reviewing.

Most companies operate on as few employees as possible. They are not going to pay people to monitor on board cameras all day.

 

Hi bigjoel, ( I like your picture of the Duel truck). I had this same "discussion"with a friend of mine, who was also of non-paranoid nature, and he said, what, do you think there are rooms full of people watching cameras all day? I said, do you have proof that there isn't? I think it's not the companies themselves that monitor the cameras, but outside sources that do indeed have rooms full of people monitoring cameras. Due to the unfortunate events of 9/11, we can't afford not to watch everybody.

 

I don't know why companies would want cameras facing the driver. Outward facing cameras may be helpful in accident, they may also be harmful. Inward facing cameras are likely to be neutral or damning in an accident. I would think the one in Arizona would give them pause when considering inward facing ones.

 

Wow, that is intense, and that's all that's needed to fuel their argument for cameras.
In a side note, I never could understand why LEO's would park their cruiser in a vulnerable position like that, and staying inside it, seemingly totally oblivious to the fact, that someone would be barreling down the highway not paying attention.

 

Hi wsyrob, ball scratching? Let's not be sexist now. Perhaps scratching of any kind.
