    Just a friendly reminder...

    The company I am leased on to just issued new 10" tablets to replace their outdated 7" tablets. Welcome changes, my 7" was getting low battery life, sluggish etc.

    My current leased to company has refused, so far, to install driver facing AI cameras. Good for them.

    The reminder is that all tablets have cameras built in, and you don't know if it's on or not. A piece of quality gorilla duct tape over that camera ensures that's it's always turned off.

    And if they ask you about it, you might actually have a civil rights violation.

    I personally, prefer to do my Hookers and Blow without being recorded.

    One of the many uses for electrical tape is to cover camera lenses.
    I can provide other household tips if needed. :)

    Who cares anymore… so you got the fat lonely office woman watching you sleep, and change clothes.
    She did put in a request… place this and dance while getting dressed/undressed.

    Yes you can but a friendly reminder,, make sure you don’t use to big of a piece and cover something important like inter axle lock out. :(

    I believe duct tape for covering ABS light must be DOT approved duct tape.

    Absolutely, but don't forget to unplug the amber ABS light on the trailer if that's the culprit... :p
