[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 34876, member: 1632"] Not really. The video tape is mine until such time as I might release it to prove that some idiot threw a soda can at me while riding. If privacy has indeed become a thing of the past, we have only ourselves to blame. As Mr. Hutch points out respect is the key word here, or more correctly lack of respect. We as a society do not respect ourselves or each other or our respective property. The result being that we must record our interactions on the off chance that this lack of respect climbs or more correctly drops to a criminal level. What I find extremely distressing is that we have sunk to such level that this is necessay. We are more fearful of the repercussions of our bad behavior than of being found out to be people who behave badly. We don't seem to care what our behavior says about ourselves, our families, our friends, or our parents for that matter. We don't seem to be able to behave properly unless we are constantly supervised. That supervison comes if the form of the video camera, cctv, and the like. Unfortunately should we ever return to a point of being a civil society the supervison will never go away. Anyway, that's me off the soapbox. Hope everyone has good day and a safe and fun ride.
