Absurd. The right to record in public, which this is, should be respected.


I don't know about your US "rights". But here it's illegal to record somebody without permission and store it somewhere. Basically against GDPR.

Of course, as a property owner you can request cameras facing public space, but you must be GDPR compliant then and you're put into register and anybody can requests deletion. Also you must provide valid reason for this request.

To me(us) is absurd that you can record private citizens and do whatever you want with it. Ridiculous.
