as i said before, i agree that the train really can't get into too much trouble if the driver isn't paying 100% attention but with that being said, even if the brakes do apply if he goes through a red signal, imagine the carnage with 100 or so passengers thrown forward when they lock up?
Still, he's in charge of 100 tons of train.....
As for your disdain for the one taking the video....i have to disagree. If there were a supervisor on every train, all the time, then yeah, the ttc would police their workers. Unless everyone is willing to pay $8.00 per ride, so they can afford to have a super on every bus and train, we have to police them ourselves.
Now i think you're pissed that the person posted it on youtube. I can understand this but think of it this way: if they just sent it to the ttc, would anything be done? I would hazard a guess to say no. If the video was shot by a reporter and they posted it on their website, would you still be as pissed?
As for you being shot going into an incall. I hope you realize that once you step out in public, whatever you do can legally he filmed, recorded and reproduced without your consent. So be careful when you do go to incalls because you could end up on youtube. Think of the john cams that residents of brampton used to do in areas where sw's were a problem. They'd shoot the cars, and the faces of men trolling for hookers onto a website.....
Now, texting while driving a train is illegal. Entering an incall used to be illegal. So a private citizen recording someone doing something illegal isn't a bad thing imo. Just like if someone recorded someone breaking into a car, stabbing someone, beating a woman etc......i should hope that a) they'd report it to the authorities and b) they'd post in on youtube for all to see so maybe the cops would catch the perp.....
So, the moral of the story is: don't do anything in public that you might live to regret.
