Transport Minister Steven Joyce will take a proposal to Cabinet to make security cameras mandatory in all taxis operating in our major towns and cities.
The recommendation for cameras comes in a report from officials who investigated taxi security after the death of Auckland driver Hiren Mohini in late January. Mr Mohini’s death was the second of an on-duty taxi driver in 14 months. There have been a number of other serious assaults, with many taxi drivers no longer enjoying safe working environments – particularly at night and particularly in our main centres.
