Lyft driver secretly recording us

Riders beware when you're riding in an Uber or Lyft. Your rights be made infringed and you do not even know it. My wife, child and I were in the vehicle and we were talking about an Uber driver secretly videotaping the Ottawa Senators players. This driver became irate and we had to clarify we are discussing a news article not him. I stated we are talking about Uber not Lyft and right now you are driving a Lyft. He drove for one more block and kicked us out. He did not declare he was videotaping us. And not only that but my 5 year old daughter is on that recording. This video has to be posted on all social media sites for awareness. Who knows what his video will be used for. Were we being livestreamed? We will never know. This man threw out my severley asthmatic daughter in the rain. We had to walk 15 minutes in the rain to get to the train station. He was sketchy to us after I requested that he turn up the radio and he kept saying he's nervous. I was giving him directions and he said he's nervous. This drives for both uber and lyft. Canadians take privacy infringement very seriously. Also recording a minor without consent is a serious violation.

I love how she recorded thinking we’d all be on her side 🤣

If you don't like to be recorded don't call lyft

Why should a driver need permission to record what happens in the car. Last I checked, most stores and offices have security cameras and no one is advised of that before entering. Its the same for drivers. The car is thier office and they have random unknown people in their space. All rides should be recorded for both passenger and driver I will say this, if someone posted a video with my car make and model with my license be back on that app so damn fast to pull that trip up cause I'm coming to visit after I have posted a screenshot of your account and picture to put in your comments...ijs

The drivers are allowed to record. Why were you not recording sooner? Maybe cuz you wanted to cancel your ride right before you got to where you were going so you could get a free ride while this innocent guy loses money

[pedroarias]

They have a right dummies, you’re in his property

As a Uber Driver it's required for us to install and use cameras to record passengers when they are in our VEHICLE, but it's just as much for the passenger as it is for us ! It's a crazy ass world out there and one never knows what could happen

[nicosends]

but i’m assuming those cameras are for his protection

It's funny how they record thinking people will be in their side

[tattoojay]

Lol I love these types of people, you see this situation everywhere. They'll pull their camera out because usually the other party is recording an altercation and they have to do the same as to say probably 99% of the time "oh yah I can do that too." In this case they do it for no reason except that they spotted it and avoid or just oblivious to any logical reasoning for a lyft driver having one.

Problem is most states allow drivers to record without permission. What alot of people dont know is both uber and lyft are recording drivers and passengers convo's so if accusations do occur, that date/time/ride gets pulled up and reviewed. So let the scam artists wiggle outta that one.

[botdavid]

In CA the passenger has to "be aware" that you're filming. Well guess what, when they ask me about my camera and why I didn't "ask their permission", then that means they're aware of my camera.

If you don't like it drive your own car or take the bus

[JadaCol]

They re suppose record the passengers for safety reasons. See passengers like this need to get beat up for playing with people money

[not.enoughto.go.around]

Its his right to record you ya dope. You're in his vehicle.

[ajgaming]

Taxts can film people for there protection so stop making a big deal about it.

[haste]

The drivers are allowed to record. Its not against the rules at all. Its for their safety and for yours as well.

[robbiebooth]

Call the feelings police lady! Legally, a vehicle is an extension of your home and an individual has the legal right to record and tell you not to, just like in their home!
Good thing you recorded this, that way you had something to watch as you walked to remind you why you was walking! What an entitled idiot!!!

[oklol]

How the fuck you gonna tell someone they can’t record when you’re in THEIR car please explain how that makes sense

[mrkimm]

What's wrong with recording ? That's what every lyft, Uber drivers do lol Was it your first time using lyft..?

[shakira]

People can't handle having a camera they feel like they have the power and the right to put somebody on social media for anything what lyft driver don't have a camera?they all should
