Probably the same thing that happens if a cop with a dashcam shows up to a traffic accident.
I don't know what it is that happens exactly, but it's a pretty common occurrence, so it seems likely that this scenario isn't that big of a problem.
- JshWright 12y agoThe amount of private health information that would be exposed in someone's bedroom, on a medical call (where a thorough interview is conducted, revealing all sorts of personal information) is _miles apart_ from what would be recorded by a dashcam at the scene of an accident.
- learc83 12y ago>where a thorough interview is conducted, revealing all sorts of personal information Given the ubiquity of dashcams, I'm willing to bet that quite a few medical interviews that reveal a lot of personal information have been conducted in earshoot of a dashcam. What happens when a cop calls an ambulance to check someone out for possible injuries, and the ambulance parks next to the patrol cruiser? Do the paramedics ask the cop to turn his dashcam microphone off while hey ask questions? How would this medical call differ from one that happens in bedroom (other than the lack of personal effects)? Seems like this scenario probably isn't an order of magnitude less likely than a cop who's also a paramedic listening in on a medical call in someone's bedroom.
