The Maryland Senate on Tuesday delayed action on a bill that would clamp down on when public buses and trains can record the private conversations of their passengers. Sen. Robert A. Zirkin (D-Baltimore County), chair of the Senate Judicial Proceedings, which unanimously voted for the measure to move to the Senate floor, said he wanted the committee to address an amendment offered by some of those who are concerned about costs associated with the bill. The bill is likely to be considered by the Senate on Wednesday, he said. “What [the Maryland Transit Administration] is doing is a mass surveillance,” Zirkin said. “I find it outrageous,” he said. “I don’t want to overstate it, but this is the issue of our generation. As technology advances, it becomes easier and easier to encroach on people’s civil liberties.” While Zirkin and other proponents argue that the technology, which has been in use since 2012, is an infringement on civil liberties, the bill’s opponents say the recordings are a necessary tool for homeland security. The bill, which would affect MTA buses in the Baltimore area, Ride On buses in Montgomery County and TheBus in Prince George’s County, creates guidelines for audio recordings and places limits on when they can be made....... (I'm sure. Sound off on the crime committed, write guidelines to improve it. Gotta stop those TERR'iSTS! NN)

Based on private conversations I hear from locals shuffling down the street or wherever I have to put up with them, I feel sorry for those devices on public busses. They could do better.

Real laffer... They will get an overload of " mo fos" to add to their archives. Insanity.
I have the answer! Put up huge display screens everywhere and lay down a beat. Toss everyone a camera and tell them they're on tv. I call it "Meet The Press". "We need more H-1B visas, because source code is rotting in the fields." - Countenance Blog
