I encourage YOU to consider what 'message' it sends to a passenger/assailant... when the driver closes the weapon access hole.

The camera sends the image to a base as soon as the person enters the taxi. The quality of the image is to be determined. Ask R. Kelly about image quality and the effect it has on convictions. A guy can't drop the noose even if the shield is open. As Ted pointed out this was the most common robbery tactic. I don't close the shield when I pick up an 80 year old Jewish woman. I do close it before I let certain people in though. This is my right. I encourage other to think before they unlock the door.
