The cameras will revolutionize the "slip trip and fall" gravy train that the Railroad has been to every money grubbing Long Island miscreet.
And since the MTA Police have become very adversarial toward employees in passenger assault cases, the cameras should be a gold mine for employees who loose money because of bogus passenger claims.
This surveillance will indeed change the landscape. the biggest problem is the unforgiving effect on the nice guy. The good employee who does his job 95% of the time will now have to pay for that 5% indiscretion or mistake, whereas in the past, his good reputation would usually prevail and let him off the hook. And of course there will be a period of adjustment before the Carrier realizes that *everyone* -- good and bad -- is getting in trouble and adjusts its discipline policies.
