Not sure many people are aware of just how dangerous buses are in Baltimore City. [/quote] Then put up a camera like they all do already...why record conversations? Do they need sound to go with the attack? [/quote] Clarity for investigations to see who said what I would assume. I'm all about privacy but I don't think there is any reason to believe you have a right to privacy not only while in a public domain but while riding on a public provided service. It's like saying you have a right not to be recorded in The Pentagon, a courthouse or any other public building. [/quote]
Original Message
The Maryland Transit Administration says it has begun recording conversations between bus drivers and passengers as a security measure that critics are calling a privacy invasion.
The Baltimore Sun reported in its Thursday edition that that audio recording began on 10 buses in Baltimore this week, supplementing video cameras that have been in place for years. Signs tell riders they are being recorded.
MTA Administrator Ralign Wells said the agency expects to expand audio recording to 340 buses, about half the fleet, by next summer.
