So I came across this story this morning: *http://tinyurl.com/2kzj24 * Personally I don't think that this violates any 'privacy' issues. I mean, you are in a vehicle that is outside in the public, driving down a highway with other vehicles, and you have windows which means the inside of your vehicle can be seen.. I mean, there are laws now that prohibit someone from viewing sexually explicit movies on the overhead DVD players in cars now in some states. * http://tinyurl.com/7nlol * This part says it all:
I think those restrictions would apply if the content is located in a vehicle, said Jeff Matsuura, director of the law and technology program at the University of Dayton. You have effectively moved beyond the privacy of your own home. I totally agree that there should not be any expectation of privacy when you are in your vehicle. I know I don't expect any. When I am in my truck, I know that everyone can see in the front windshield and can see quite a bit in the front side windows. I do have my back windows tinted very dark because I live in the desert, and I want to keep my truck cool and my leather looking nice, not to hide what I am doing inside. In Germany, they have cameras set up along highways that snap a very nice, very clear picture of not only your car and license plate, but your face. It is not obscured in any way. I know because I got my picture taken once when I lived there. I don't see Germans screaming about privacy issues, so why should we? When I drive on the 210 freeway twice a month for my Guard drills, I see so many people driving in the car pool lane by themselves. This is a 24/7 lane, not a rush hour only lane, so no one except cars with two or more people, or motorcycles are allowed. The problem that this causes is that when you are obeying the law and you have more than one person in your vehicle, because of the extra vehicles that are breaking the law that are congesting the lane, it is sometimes almost as slow or as slow as the other lanes, so what is the incentive for carpooling if not to save time and the environment? Catch these people any way you can, slap them with large fines, and maybe we can actually have the car pool lanes used for their intended purpose. What do you all think?
