    I mean damn yall really feel its ok for conversations between people riding the bus to be recorded.

    i simply don't care if my conversations are being recorded. Just doesn't bother me at all.

    Cool, so where do you draw the line and feel like they going to far?

    Why should anybody audio recording be considered more intrusive than a video recording?

    Because you can watch a video and get a complete picture of a scene so if something does happen. You enter public space there is some rights you give up. But infringe on the rights of both callers is a major overstep and doesnt ultimately accomplish anything anyway

    The body cameras will become a standard part of law enforcement, that is a certainty. But those same cameras will expose some ugly parts of how some live as well as how the officers behave. Once the technology is out there is no putting it back.

    the bus is public so you're ownership of privacy is very limited as soon as you step on and it sounds like they're only recording what goes on on the bus not on ur cellphone.....it goes too far when they're actually listening to convos taking place in your actual house/car IMO

    Ever sense the ? about them being able to track our cells phones even when they are off I've just assumed they can track and listen in on almost everything. I wouldn't want them in my prayer time or up in my ? at a funeral but I assume they already are. I get yoru point and many others though and I see how this ? could get out of hand

    I actually agree with this.

    If people will let complete strangers around the globe look into their homes and what they're doing on a day to day basis over social media, they can't be mad that private companies are being paid to pay attention to that type of ? . People can get mad but they do it to themselves.

    Yo King come on what someone posts to Insta or whatever is crazy different to havin' private companies/governments spy on you.

    You're right. People won't like it but, you're right.

    I'm opening Pandora's box here but that's a potential problem with allowing ANY degree of socialism into the "democracy". If private things (possessions) that use what could become public mediums (eg Internet, cellular towers) are allowed to be governed by the government to any degree.....then i believe (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) it opens the door for social privacy (expectations) to be systematically chipped away.....especially if encrypted channels become prohibited.

    lol @ privacy on a public bus.

    And have any of you been on a MD bus? Most of the people on there that do talk, talk loud enough from the back of the bus to be heard at the front of the bus.

    As others have pointed out, this very well might be the verdict. We might not like it, but it's legal and permissible.

    *devil's advocate post*

    If you do it in public how is it private anymore ?

    If a woman on the IC has her nudes leaked what justification is there for yall to have to see em and save them for future use ?

    We're posting what we talk about on the IC every day on a public forum. Why would it be wrong for Greg or the folks at AHH to listen in to us and save these conversations ?

    You guys are comparing someone leaking their nudes on a public website to, you know what. nevermind.

    Where are you from? Lots of people take public transportation throughout the DMV. Depending on where you work, it's the much easier and cheaper option.

    Was cool with a few MARTA ( Metropolitan Rapid Transit Authority) drivers in AtL when I lived there. We bugged out when they put TV's on the busses and trains. Fam told me " They looking right @ u!". I was actually friends with these drivers and they gave up the Ghetto Gospel on that. Cobb county out right got the Hollywood production camera's on they ? . Red lights blinking and all. No shame on that CCT I tell ya.
