I wonder when someone is going to give YRC trouble about the fact that they are not in compliance with California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (13B)
(B) A vehicle equipped with a video event recorder shall have a notice posted in a visible location which states that a passenger’s conversation may be recorded.
(C) Video event recorders shall store no more than 30 seconds before and after a triggering event.
(D) The registered owner or lessee of the vehicle may disable the device.
(E) The data recorded to the device is the property of the registered owner or lessee of the vehicle.
(F) When a person is driving for hire as an employee in a vehicle with a video event recorder, the
person’s employer shall provide unedited copies of the recordings upon the request of the employee or
the employee’s representative. These copies shall be provided free of charge to the employee and
within five days of the request.
Also, I hear that it is possible for dispatch to listen through the Intermec handheld device and hear what is going on in the cab of the truck without the driver's knowledge. Below is a quote from a
website describing the penalties in California if they are caught doing this.
"Penal Code 632 PC - Eavesdropping on or recording confidential communications. ("(a) Every person who, intentionally and without the consent of all parties to a confidential communication, by means of any electronic amplifying or recording device, eavesdrops upon or records the confidential communication, whether the communication is carried on among the parties in the presence of one another or by means of a telegraph, telephone, or other device, except a radio, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or in the state prison, or by both that fine and imprisonment"
