The in car cameras are a good idea, however if someone is bound and determined to rob a cabbie, the best item to have in the cars in addition to a camera is a plexiglass divider and to have the taxis no longer permit fares to ride in the front seats. I know, I know, its not comfortable, but these are the times in which we live in. Its a necessity.
