It's the same all over in the Taxi Trade, it's the same people who won't pay 10p a day to join an association.

Some pay it willingly, but are not actually allowed in it!

unfortunately CCTV does not.

We will just have to agree to differ.

You also miss the 10s of 1000s of drivers who don't own the car they are working in, are they not entitled to be protected?




Im quite sure they are more than capable of deciding for themselves as they have done for many years .

In other words like it or lump it? :-|

Yes if I was a perv or a thug and I knew I was going to do perv and thug stuff, then I could tamper with the CCTV, but most of these matters aren't planned, so there is a good chance of even these getting caught.



I have no idea whether these matters are planned or not , however the answer is still the same cover the lens , turn off ignition etc etc .

I would always suggest a 5/10 minute delay.

Especially good when recording the aftermath of a accident.

The issue I have is being told WHICH system I have to have fitted, WHERE I have to buy it from and WHO I MUST have it fitted by - no choice in the matter at all.

I think you are correct.

In my opinion a council should pass a criteria, and then we can install any system we choose that meets that criteria.

Now I'm a dual licensed mush I think I can join the Captain's mob.

It's just a shame I can't afford it. :-$

this thread appears to be trying to find a solution for something that should not happen, with equipment that will ensure it will not happen.

we all know bad people do bad things, but people are quibbling for the sake of maybe £400......a quid plus a day ffs

uber deserve to win.



If some are to be believed the solution has already been found , it is the saviour of all that is bad in the taxi trade " COMPULSORY TAXI CCTV " and all for the bargain price from around the £400 + mark .
Don't dare to question its capabilities or point out its shortcomings for fear of being labelled as having something to hide . Pay up shut up and prepare to be shafted further in the future .
Body worn cameras next to catch you evil taxi drivers as you continue with your nasty crimes , for when your not in your cab .

As a sideline i can do these full HD top quality just £365 only a pound a day for a year ffs :wink:

Of course i will be looking for these to become compulsory despite the fact they will not be fit for purpose , but if im correct that will not be an obstacle in getting approval .

:wink: :wink: :wink: :D



Ahhh so you want to sell them to the trade in Warrington and make a quick buck? There lies the problem and why your objecting to CCTV.
