Just a word of advice. You'd better check the "at will" status of your state before you try to bring any legal action towards a company. You know that an "at will" state allows the company to fire you with no cause. Every state has different rules when it comes to "at will". I'd be sure of those requirements before I brought a lawsuit against any company. I'm not defended the company that uses them but there are some companies out there that use them properly. Plus, if you're a driver that is honestly applying good driving habits, if the company is using the cams the right way, you should have nothing to worry about.

One more point. I have read or at least skimmed over most of this thread. I have taken notice of a lot of (I won't ) comments. Testosterone is dripping off a lot of these comments. If I were still driving and were faced with one of these things, I would give the company a choice. Remove the camera and mike or I will be forced to decline the job offer. Enough drivers do this and the carriers will be forced to reevaluate these decisions. There is no need to start scratching the ground like a chicken or go pee on a tree to mark your territory here. Just walk away!
D.Tibbitt, Lepton1 and Cattleman84 Thank this. -
Unfortunately most drivers can not just simply walk away. If it were that easy we could make some changes for the good.

Refuse to drive a truck with a inward facing camera or a microphone. Its called having a backbone. Unless you're an exhibitionist, or like being treated like a maximum security prisoner. Personally, I think not.

One of the reasons for the CDL was to stop drivers from getting a License from another state once they got that one took away. Trust me, I saw this happen all the time. In fact, one of my uncles had a license from Texas and Oklahoma. When one got a bit hot he would switch to the other one for a while. The carriers were not really taking part 391 seriously either. (yes part 391 has been around for a while).
So while I feel for that driver forced to make that choice, I still say eat it or walk away.
Oh, by the way, you think this is bad. Take a look sometimes if you dare into some of the research going on with FORCING regulatory compliance.TheyCallMeDave and Lepton1 Thank this. -

I dunno about "slaughtering innocents" but there are alotta problems with todays drivers, agreed. As far as the problems boomers have caused for those of us that came after them, look no further than the state of our government and other institutions, but I suppose thats off topic.
