Hah! And you people laughed at me for talking dirty to the subway!
...while in Oakland, the cops hid mics around bus-shelters near the courthouses to capture audio of defendants and their lawyers discussing their cases."Son, see those faces? Remember those faces." "Are they assholes, papa?" "Yes, son, they are assholes."
New Jersey public transit
Thatās a scary thought in itself, really.
As of this date, āThe Star-Spangled Bannerā has been officially replaced as Americaās national anthem by the song āEvery Breath You Takeā, written ā appropriately enough ā by The Police.
"Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, Iāll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, Iāll be watching you."
Plus you can search that stuff now, or have it flag itself under certain circumstances. Itās not just piles of unheard audio.
Great way to encourage the use of public transportation. Iāll drive, thanks.
It was at a bus stop that I got some advice on where to buy drugs (two blocks over) and how to buy drugs. I was told that if I offered an exorbitant amount theyād know I was an undercover cop. I should say āTen bucks for a bag,ā and stand firm.
Free advice to any law enforcement listening in here.
Well, if this is all about putting microphones in government owned areas where crime is likely to happen, then microphones should be put in all elected officials officesā¦ That might actually yield some results we can use.
Shouldnāt they be hiding mics in Banks?
Well, the conclusion was that that was an rfid tag that fell off of a freight container.
Donāt worry, they are looking at you too.
Thatās what ātheyā say
Surveillance Camera Theater can now do talkies and Audio Plays!!!

Not sure how the copyright apples though, what with recording and sharing copies of performances.
You can leave you phone at home if you prefer. It wonāt kill you to miss a few tweets.
transit officials may argue that posting notice that audio surveillance is in use means that anyone who rides those vehicles has consented
Yeah sure. Anyone who doesnāt consent can simply find an alternative means of transport other than public transport.
Demanding consent to onerous surveillance in order to use public infrastructure sounds totally fine to me, I canāt see that going wrong ever.
We have always been at war with EastAsia.
I think you mean:
Oh. Am I one of āthemā now?
A disturbing notion of consent is intrinsic to this move.
Letting me know (via notice) that something will happen doesnāt obtain my consent. Waiting for a human on the phone and hear āthis call will be recorded for quality and training purposesā - do you consent? Either you stay on the line and āconsentā, or you canāt speak with a representative.
This seems eerily close to the āif you donāt like rape, why did you go out after darkā line of reasoning.
People who use transit often donāt have other (reasonable) options available, so this is completely non-consentual.
