I can see that recording a RAC wouldn't exactly be sensitive towards some people, but I assume that every one of them isn't handing coffee to a homeless person. My opinion on the matter is one of perspective; I'd much rather see people (selfishly or unselfishly) do something for someone else than a dangerous drinking game that is costing lives.
