The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) recently unveiled an ad campaign that uses images captured by security cameras to publicly shame those trying to avoid paying the fare. We talk to the independent journalist Benjamin Bilgen about how the campaign violates the TTC's own video recording policy. Plus we get into chatting about transit enforcement more generally.
