I find this entire thread to be really out in the left ozone (pace,  
Steve).

Just about any place you go these days, you are being viewed by a  
CCTV camera: buildings, streets, malls, wherever.  If you think that  
privacy involves not having your image captured, well, we crossed  
that bridge a long, long time ago.  At least one IPer points out that  
cabbies have a far better security reason to capture your image than  
do office buildings, e.g., and I agree.

Sorry, Steve.  Unwinding all the image capturing technology deployed  
throughout OECD countries (including taxis)over the last 15 years is  
just never going to happen.
