"people who are parenoid about being taped are suspect by this very fact ...i have never met an honorable human, one of integrity, who gives a hoot about being taped."

Then you've never experienced being recorded and having it use out of context, which can be very damaging. For instance, if someone recorded you saying "I don't like blacks" and you received flack for being a racist, when you were actually talking about a camera shop, I think you'd have some angry responses for the videographer. Until you've had the experience you might leave room for the sensibilities of others. Just my opinion.
