    That was the reason I left the last mega company I worked for. When the company put cameras in it was basically the driver's choice to leave of their own accord or the company would start looking for reasons to terminate drivers. They let one guy go because he was hugging the center line (but not crossing it) inside a tunnel on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. They were originally only supposed to activate during critical events but we found out later that they could review footage from any given time that the vehicle was parked or in motion. Now the company got bought out and they're planning on rolling out the AI cameras that notify the company of anything it considers impaired driving to include yawning or even glancing in your mirrors too often. I haven't had any issues out of the road facing cameras thus far so we'll have to see how driver facing cameras go. Drivers are starting to file lawsuits with the courts citing privacy concerns and the courts are starting to side with the drivers in some of these cases

    The place I work for uses Lytx cameras with the inward lens deactivated and any footage captured during a critical event is sent to a 3rd party to be reviewed.
    However just about any little thing is enough to trigger the camera so unless its something like speeding 10 over or showing a pattern of running stop signs/red lights I really don't think our TM even cares.
