SWIFT In Cab Cameras

Minus the arguing, this has certainly been an interesting thread. As someone considering a career, this website has been an invaluable source of information, and it's been very eye-opening to see the different schools of thought on this specific issue. As I've never so much as been in the cab of a truck, I won't offer my opinion on the matter one way or another, but I did have a thought which I don't think has been mentioned yet to add to the mix.

One question I see asked occasionally on this forum is what to do when nature calls but there's no time to pull over at a rest stop. Seems like the "official un-official" response to this is something along the lines of "Gatorade bottles are common in this industry". The safety of such a maneuver while behind the wheel is a whole different argument, and again, as someone with no frame of reference I have nothing to add.

That being said, without going into the logistics of relieving oneself in such a manner, it's probably safe to say that there's a bit of...exposure...involved. Ideally an in-cab camera would only be trained at the driver's face, but then, that's only ideally. And we're getting into a bit of a preposterous, unlikely scenario here, but say someone behind a desk happens to see a driver doing this, either pulling the feed up live or watching it recorded at a later time. And say it's "Take Your Child to Work" day, and that person's youngster is sitting there and happens to see the video as well. What are the repercussions of that? Again, this is an absolutely ludicrous situation which is all highly, highly unlikely. Yet at the same time...stranger things have happened.

Certainly not trying to ruffle any feathers or act like I have any idea what I'm talking about, just wanted to play Devil's advocate in regard to a possible scenario that hadn't yet been touched upon.

What is that?
