As for the actual legality of it all, the government at both federal and state levels has been "slow in really hammering out what's legal and what's not," New York paramedic and EMS lawsuit expert witness Geo Henderson told EMS1. While the powers that be take their time to hash out what's allowed and what isn't, the public seems to be divided on the issue. The best theoretical solution would probably be to ask every patient for consent before they're wheeled into the ambulance, but for obvious reasons, that's not really practical. Whether ambulance cams eventually become commonplace or illegal is still up in the air. But for now, if you ever unfortunately find yourself in the back of an ambulance, try your best to smile because you might just be on video.
