Comment They always shared with police (Score 5, Interesting) 94
I was in middle school and school bus cams first appeared (massive black box with a window, many of us speculated that only some of them even contained a camera)
There were some incidents where the video was used. The school always has the option of giving video to the cops. Likewise, the system always had the option to subpoena the video.
This is all about cops just being able to pull up the school bus footage on a whim. I don't really see how increased access to video for investigative and not evidential reasons is going to keep society at large safe. I can imagine some rather nauseating use cases though
