    I thought buses already had audio video? Is the problem with the GPS and internet connection or the DHS funding?

    The First Paragraph said:
    Transit authorities in cities across the country are quietly installing microphone-enabled surveillance systems on public buses that would give them the ability to record and store private conversations, according to documents obtained by a news outlet.

    Yes, the systems will record all those private conversations people hold in a public place. :tantrum:

    I'm arguably more opposed to a police state than most here, but this is media sensationalism and not evidence of an oppressive government crushing the people under its jackboot.

    I know, government isn't interested in the conversations of regular people (at least that's what I hope so). I just find it highly suspicious that DHS is granting tens of millions of dollars to... improve safety (huh?) and solve customer complaints.
