This article is from 2012, but it never ceases to amaze me that people will make excuses to strip themselves of freedom for a small semblance of safety that will never be.
- baud147258 4y agoThere's a real loss of privacy, I won't disagree on that, but what freedom(s) are lost when microphones are placed in public buses? And the use I could see for surveillance of public transportation, to help for incidents that devolve in he said/they said (or worse he said/the police said); so more for a question of justice than safety
