I don’t work for TTC but another transit agency. I mentioned to my union rep that we should be using the cameras WE ALREADY HAVE (in case we get into accidents) to record when people do shit like this in front of our buses, and they said that was a really good idea. I also submitted a service enhancement form to management to suggest this very idea.

You know what their response was?

“It is a privacy concern.”

Yes, taking pictures of license plates, WHICH ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN ON PUBLIC ROADS, is somehow considered to be a PRIVACY ISSUE by a PUBLIC TRANSIT AGENCY.

This is what our management is like. Suffice to say, I’ve given up on expecting anything better anytime soon.

The guy has 34 felony counts on him, as is. What’s one more legal violation, at this point?
