Brochin fighting audio surveillance on public transportation

WYPR has a story about the growing amount of surveillance on public transportation. Video recording has been around for a while, but now the use of audio — recording riders’ conversations — is growing. State Sen. Jim Brochin, who represents Towson, says he’s against it:

“I’m worried about people who have no other mode of transportation — black, white, Hispanic, whatever — who have no other mode of transportation and don’t have the economic means to have a car, having to give up their civil liberties in order to ride the bus,” he said. “It’s just not fair.”
