Amazon is a very very large company, completely sealing up something like that would be next to impossible.
Note this doesn’t meant they shouldn’t try, only that I personally recognize the scope of the issue at hand.
Hopefully they find the source of these leaks soon though and patch up their privacy better for the drivers sake, but it’s very likely it’s just another Amazon worker leaking these.

Are you shitting me?
This driver is clearly identifiable. You pull up their manager's information... Look for a Joey (name mentioned in the video) and then interview them. They will give up the three other names or you fire Joey. Then you can punish all 4 of the people who partook in this data leak.
This is NOT "next to impossible". Not even close. Access records could easily be stored in relation to these videos. Information on who's reviewing the videos is trivial to store as metadata.
Yep, my mistake I misunderstood the people talking in the article were workers filming it on a phone. That should be a lot easier to find, but does nothing to disprove that stopping stuff like a single dude sneaking a phone to work gets harder with the amount of dudes you employ.
I don't think that a driver facing camera increases the safety of package delivery whatsoever. All it can detect is whether a delivery person is driving, perhaps how they are driving and that's it.
A delivery person can exit the car, take a package of (potential) value out and do whatever. You can still be caught taking the package away from the customer if you do not take it to the customers door first and then not announce yourself. Or make a photo to "confirm" that the package made it to the door.
It doesn't feel dystopian because it's basically normalized as your comment shows. Being watched at work permanently through camera supervision specifically. Being watched at work on occasion or your work being checked is indeed normal.
Ferris has told me via DM that the cameras do not film permanently but instead start recording footage when the car is jerking around because that could result in broken packages and Amazon is trying to cover their ass. However this system could be intentionally or unintentionally too sensitive.
