This is CRAZY!! Devices on public buses in Maryland are listening to private conversations

Who cares tho really? People willingly lay out their entire lives versing in text with practically everyone they've ever known or will know.

That's a broad generalization and it still doesn't justify their actions.

Exactly.

Myself and a lot of people I know do nothing that dude is saying in that post.

Broad but true. It's justified in the fact no one does anything to stop it. If people don't stop an injustice, it must not be a big enough crime.

To you or me it big, it's huge! Unprecedented! But it falls on deaf ears and blind eyes(headphones and devices).

Obviously not if people are trying to fight it now. Also its says the MTA did it without legislative approval so I take that as it was done without notifying the public at all and only some of the local government officials I'm sure some knew about it.

I can be honest this is my first time hearing about it. I personally don't have any social media accounts besides posting on here. Don't talk or text about personal shit on my phone. My folks either come to me, I come to them or we meet halfway and talk face to face.

I know they do shit like this so I try to minimize the shit as much as possible and I don't even do shit that is illegal. Just the type of person I am. I love my privacy!!

Well damn

I think most public transportation has video surveillance installed already. How is this different? People get outraged over anything.

How can you not see the difference?

Having a camera to make sure people don't fuck up the bus driver or passengers is way different than being able to listen to people phone conversations.

Come on now shit is a huge difference.

I don't think a citizen has any expectation of privacy on a public bus. I'm not sure but I don't think so.

In any event, bus drivers are attacked enough to warrant some kind of surveillance. If the driver is controlling when the recording starts then it's probably limited in usage already.

I'm OK with this esp after all the attacks lately on the METRO shit is crazy. If you don't like it...drive.

[D. Morgan]

Fuck it might as well record your conversation at your school, hospitals, city parks, shit might as well place recording towers in front of your house. After all its all public space and as such a private conversation should automatically become public. That's how foolish you sound.

It's not about having a car because I have one it's about boundaries being overstepped and you beING ok with it simply because your in public
