American Bus Video Inc. and likely every other responsible professional supplier of School Bus Cameras, or the law enforcement versions of Police Suspect/Prisoner Transport Cameras, and the elderly or patient transport surveillance documented by Medicare Regional Paratransit Shuttle Cameras already provide a public warning decal to let those passengers know they are being recorded and that their actions and statements are available for later review if necessary. Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video-equipped vehicles usually make use of the School Bus Camera Public Notice Warning Decals we provide for school buses to offer public notice of the recording systems in use.


Those with a vested interest often take extreme advantage of others to protect their interests or advance their agenda.

For example, when children are not happy with the new seating assigned by their school bus driver, breaking up some close interpersonal relationships between the children riding on the bus; some in the past have taken extreme measures of using their cell phones to call in false reports of the driver behavior on the bus to get that driver in trouble or have them fired so they replace that driver they do not like with one that they might get along better with. False reports of drivers texting while driving, speeding, and taking turns much too fast can get the driver arrested or fired and ruin their chosen career as a driver.

There is a reason why we have set federal age limits on some behaviors or privileges. That is because the human brain is fully functional once some of us are much past our teens. Drinking, smoking, getting inked, engaging in consensual sex, owning a firearm, marriage, being an organ donor, voting, and driving are just some of the things that are restricted by age.

It is generally accepted that most children still in school cannot make rational adult-based decisions, so their behavior must often be supervised or at least be verifiable when claims are made on their behalf or for them.
The concerns for most passengers on vehicles are regarding privacy, and on a public vehicle, it might help to ask yourself if you can do anything you want on that vehicle without it being charged as a crime.

The reality is you cannot smoke or use tobacco chew on a school bus; you cannot defecate on a school bus; vaping is unlawful; sex is not permitted on a school bus; you must remain clothed on a school bus, so the expectation of privacy on what is legally in almost all cases a government municipality or chartered public transport vehicle, yet we still offer the Public Disclaimer decal to alert all that there are cameras recording audio and video on a school bus.

Some mobile video surveillance camera applications do not require the same degree of public notice to add the additional layer of legal disclosure because the vehicle driver or operator, in the case of lifts, is the only one involved in the operation, and there are no passengers.

One example woud be the Man-up Order Picking High-reach Industrial Lift or Forklift camera systems do not usually install public camera recording audio and video decals as they are both hard to miss, and the operators are already aware of them, so there is no passenger expectation of privacy.


Another example woud be the Warehouse Yard Jockey Tractor 5th Wheel King Pin Trailer CS1 Spotter Yard Mule Camera.
The yard jockey driver will not require the decals because they’re actually watching the display from the cameras so any claims they were unaware of the cameras would likely prove an imbecilic level of intelligence, making their ability to have a drivers license and operate a vehicle extremely unlikely.

Terminal tractors swapping hundreds of trailers in a distribution warehouse do not require the warning decals, but the systems still compete with them when purchased from American Bus Video Inc.

Those who provide free or contract passenger transportation Private Service Contractor Charter Transport Compliance Bus Camera Systems should post the warning labels in a location where the passenger can see and will be aware of the fact that video and audio recording is occurring on the vehicle confirming there is no expectation of privacy on that vehicle. This is just another layer of awareness for the camera system in case they end up in court and claim they had no idea they were being recorded.

Those who provide transportation for Medicare or Medicare program patients often face claims to have done something incorrectly or interacted with the passengers in a nonprofessional manner, so the warning decals can offer them a level of confidence that if something does happen, they can have peace of mind to know it can be reviewed if need be. Medicaid Medical Transport In-Vehicle Surveillance Camera-equipped vehicles can help when claims are made, and their use should be publicly displayed to help instill the perception of accountability in what is often a he-said-she-said application.


School Bus Camera Public Notice Warning Decals can also be used on those buses that transport smaller children so that the parents of those smaller children can be aware their children’s trips to and from school are monitored and recorded for later review in case of incidents or accidents. This offers a level of oversight that was not available a few short years ago, and like the daycare and nanny cams, this offers the parents peace of mind in that their children’s claims can be verified by an impartial expert digital eyewitness in case of severe incidents or allegations of bullying, impropriety or crimes.

The same level of oversight and concern for the children can also be conveyed by having the same School Bus Camera Public Notice Warning Decals on the buses that transport pre and post school activities in the form of Before & After Care School Child Day Care Pickup In-vehicle Shuttle Safety Cameras.
