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

[D. Morgan]

WTF is some of yall limits to this type of stuff when will yall feel this type of shit has gone to far?

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

They're going to justify it by saying it can prevent domestic terrorism and acts of chaos if they find out what the person is talking about before it happens SMMFH. Corporations will pay big money to find out what people are talking about so they can learn more about the consumer, etc.

This is already understood. My question is to the people who seem to have no problems every time the government steps this shit up as where they are putting cameras and recording people at. Where do yall draw the line?

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

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

Whats your opinion on body cameras for the police?

 

[leftcoastkev]

The issue is also.....well what's next.

It's amazing how far the goal post moves generation by generation and the social conditioning that results in a new normal for the next generation.

The mass of people usually will accept anything that doesn't physically touch them.....

Will ppl continue to board the buses if the audio is recorded? Yes.

Will ppl continue to use their phones if the government has access? Yes.

People's attitudes become "well they're already doing X anyway so may as well it don't matter"

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

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

 

[babelipsss]

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 shit 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 shit at a funeral but I assume they already are. I get yoru point and many others though and I see how this shit could get out of hand

This.

Don't know why this shit is so far fetched for some of you niggas smh

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

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

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 shit. 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.

This some slippery slope, " run down the hill and fuck one or walk down and fuck em all" shit

Really wtf kinda conversation they think they gon catch on a public bus of any consequence?

 

[The Lonious Monk]

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.

Again that in noway justifies a company from recording our private conversation.

Not sure how you can expect privacy on a PUBLIC bus my nigga

SMH @ any of y'all ok with this shit.

Sound like you need a car...

Lol I have a car and I'm still not okay with this shit. Sounds like you need to man the fuck up the government is literally spying on you and you're ok with it

*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.
