> I can't see a need to permit the recording or some guy who sells tickets for a municipal railway, or sweeps the streets and is paid by the local authority (although I don't particularly see the need to ban it, either). How about when he's letting his friends ride for free or engaged in some other misbehavior? You want privacy - do it on your time. As long as it's my money paying you, the default is that I get to observe and record, just like any other employer. This is especially true for folks engaged in law enforcement. The only possible exception is undercover, but if you're made.... No exception for plainclothes - if you've identified yourself as a cop, you're fair game.
