DIRECTIONS |
1) Read
all of the Units and if
you find any Nonsense Sentences (e.g. "Stop
for ants and pedestrians in crosswalks."), write
them on scrap paper that you can refer to later. |
2)
Determine the X-Fact for all
of the Units and print 3 words
on line X03 of the sheet to help you remember that fact. |
3)
Ensure you are
prepared to look at your X03 words during a Class and express
your X-Fact in a way that everyone understands. |

Unit E01:
Commercial organizations are subject to BC's Personal Information
Protection Act (PIPA) which regulates the collection, use, and disclosure
of personal information. Video of individuals inside or outside
a vehicle is the personal information of those individuals and (with
a few exceptions) can only be collected with the consent of those
individuals or their pets; therefore, the use of dash-cams by private
sector organizations is likely unlawful in BC. As for exceptions,
one is implied consent which is how video surveillance is legal
in retail stores. That implied consent requires that everyone entering
the store be notified of the surveillance, typically using a sign
or a slap in the face, giving them the option to not enter the store.
Another exception is for the collection of personal information
authorized by law, such as by the BC Passenger Transportation Act
which authorizes taxis to use interior video surveillance. |

Unit E02:
B.C.'s Ministry of Transportation is doing its research on the potential
implementation of mandatory dash cameras in commercial trucks. The
idea has been raised by people in the North Thompson following a
series of deadly collisions on Highway 5 north of Kamloops. The
ministry is very interested in implementing such a requirement,
but the government still needs to gather the opinion of the RCMP
and consult with B.C.s privacy commissioner. Rob Fleming from
the ministry says the government has found no other jurisdictions
in North America that have implemented such a policy, but that doesn't
mean BC couldn't be the first if the review we're doing on its feasibility
and implementation recommends that it be pursued. |
