Companies with forward-facing + driver/ passenger facing cameras — how are yours actually being used?
My company just started using dash cameras that face forward but also into the entire front compartment (driver and passenger). They don’t have audio recording but are able to be “live-streamed” and log events like speeding, phone usage, etc. We were told that the cameras would not be used against employees and were primarily for safety/liability purposes. However, employees are now apparently being written up based on things observed through the cameras, including being out of the proper uniform and even hygiene/grooming-related issues. I understand addressing legitimate safety concerns, reckless driving, etc., but this feels different from how the cameras were originally presented to employees. For example; if you’re in violation (speeding, breaking, phone usage, yawning,etc.) you get a verbal warning first time- but they are issuing paper write ups to go along with it for not having proper uniform on (t shirts instead of dress shirts,etc.). Curious to gauge others thoughts on this and how you would handle…
