Tri-Met Driver Caught Red-Handed
This is amazing. A LJ PRODUCTION!
Happened around 7:30pm on Saturday, September 15th at Gresham TC. Driver told me he was "going to shove my camera up my ass", and to "get that fucking thing out of my face."
A common courtesy regarding public use of recording equipment is if someone asks you to stop using it or put it away, you do it. Even if they're not very nice about it.
Don't get too carried away with this, Lane. You should've put the camera away. One of the things i do is i won't show the driver's face unless i know them and they don't mind (like steve fung, for example) or i've asked them. Sometimes it will happen, but by accident. You go around and harass operators, like this, things won't turn out well. This is what i was warning you of. Great videos, but don't be a jerk just to get the film. You don't want to be hated by the operators.
Our buddy Lane needs to go at the Trimet executive class with the same zeal he's using against the frontline employees who actually work for a living. Because he's not as recognizable as Al, he could have an element of suprise similar to a pre-fame Michael Moore. Either way, he should ease up his tactics against operators, they have plenty of stress as is.

I know that driver-he's a decent guy.
Don't be getting the drivers upset Lane ok...
But I still love your videos!
I've even now heard rumors he is a LINE TRAINER. Simply incredible if that is true!

Listen to Adri Lane, she makes sense.
What goes around, comes back around; thus, L.J. is bad karma because I just cast the spell upon him.
Dude,
Just ask a question first, please!
No one wants to see this type of situation happen to you or the driver.

Lane ol boy, old chum, our Gadfly extraordinaire!
Please do as mentioned above and focus your lense on Triment Management.
Give 'em hell.

Great idea Lane. Didn't want to boycott you..respect and courtesy of the frontline is important.
