In an effort to combat critics and stave off competition, some Hong Kong taxi services have begun implementing more CCTV cameras in vehicles, the South China Morning Post reports. The move comes after what the Association of Taxi Industry Development called a successful monthlong trial period, which placed cameras in "at least" 20 taxis, the report states. "The CCTV cameras can provide valuable evidence to back up customer complaints or establish the truth if there are disputes with drivers," the report continues. Regarding privacy concerns, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data gave the association advice and the taxi group has since secured in-cab recordings. "They will only be viewed in appropriate circumstances, such as at the request of the police," the report adds. "Customers are also informed when getting into the taxi that a camera is installed."
