I prefer that they're video and audio recording. I just wish they'd share it with me after each ride as routine. Auto-recording everything in public places would be safer for everybody. As long as it's also all on the public record.

Great idea ! Now your stalker can just access public records to know all your daily routine, what an utopia

  Stalkers don't usually suffer from lack of public information about their targets. But catching stalkers would be a lot easier. We'd have a public audit log of everybody who looks up public information. Same as we do now for doctors who look up info on people, say celebs or exes, who aren't their current patients.

I can't tell if you're taking the piss or not. In case you're not, how would having everything you say in public being part of the public record be safer for everybody?

  Everything said to me in say taxi cabs, buses, or any places without the expectation of privacy being public would make everybody a lot more ostensibly conscientious. It would not only prevent crimes, it would make tracing criminals, solving crimes, and absolving the innocent much simpler. There'd still be public crimes by idiots, drugs addicts, etc, of course, but the panopticon effect would prevent a huge chunk. The trade-off is we'd have to teach kids from childhood the legal definition of a public place, which differs substantially from the "I'll make it up however I feel like" definition of a public place. And conversely, anything said in private would have to be fiercely defended- far more than it is now. Committing a random public crime should be as obviously a bad idea as climbing up on stage at a 10,000-person concert and committing the same crime in front of everybody.

  For business operators, it makes figuring out whether or not a customer’s claims are fraudulent a lot easier. It’s really costly to not be able to prove your side of things, especially if the other side has a biased recording. It’s just like not having a dash cam when everyone else on the road has one.
