We have had many customers video us drilling.

Just because it is interesting to them.

Not every civil servant would have the same views, most people civil or "private employees" don't really like the idea of wearing a camera.

Cameras may weed out the bad ones. Given there is the "blue code" where even the good cops cover for the bad ones, I think it is a great idea. Hey, if you're not doing anything wrong? Right?

Yeah, because you hear about multiple school shootings everyday, and only once in a blue moon do you hear about cops acting above the law

The privacy lawsuits would be minor, they are govt. employees but regardless, those aren't juicy lawsuits.

NYC alone pays out close to that much JUST for civil abuse cases each year, let alone for property damage and whatnot.

NYPD Abuse Increases Settlements Costing City $735 Million - Bloomberg

Just make everyone wear cameras, crime rates would be at crazy low numbers... which means we won't have to build more prisons and we can lower our prison population.

Embolded drillers could become a menace to society.

Did the Patriot Act give more power to drillers?

And, what's all this fuss I keep hearing about frackers?

Honestly if I'm not doing anything wrong I could not care less. I'm not one who believes there is someone in a government building somewhere taking pleasure in my phone calls/emails or recording my every move.


Though, Some people don't deserve to have privacy.
Ex. I believe a few years back or so ago a guy (I believe in WV)was caught with kiddie porn on his PC. The odd thing was he was more occupied with whining about the authorities knowing what was on his PC and his "liberties/privacy being violated", then defending himself.
