What's so difficult about simply applying a wee bit of BLACK TAPE on the lens viewing the driver????
That IS what I would do.
I have NO PROBLEM with a Camera FACING FORWARD through the windscreen, just NO CHANCE I would allow myself to be viewed and sound recorded constantly.
It's not like we are handling MONEY or other security objects.
SAFETY SENSITIVE POSITIONS do not require Electronic LEASHES.
WHY do you people ALLOW yourselves to be subjugated/controlled by such pointless and PERSONALLY INVASIVE devices??
Under the sham/guise of safety?
Because you LIKE BEING WATCHED and TOLD what you can and cannot do while performing your duties??
NO ONE, repeat,
NO ONE tells me I cannot smoke or drink fluids or eat or talk on the chatter box or on the phone with a headset while I'm driving.
I would not mind a camera somewhere along the top rear rail of the trailer. THAT would be helpful.
I'm SO GLAD I work for a small company where a Camera watching me is not installed.
One facing FORWARD on Traffic, I'll allow.
I'm also glad we use LOOSE LEAF, until the time comes when e-logs are mandated Nationwide, then I hope to be doing somethings productive (multiple streams of income) ONLINE then I can QUIT DRIVING C.M.V.s. and overall be done working for some company other than mine.
Hope this day finds you well.
CHEERS!!
