What is a licensed security camera?
By this logic, are you saying cameras on private property, that happen to capture public space in their frame are also illegal?
- xorcist 2y agoOf course it is. Is this controversial anywhere? I would expect surveillance cameras to be regulated in most parts of the world, certainly around Europe. In the Netherlands I believe you need to register such cameras with the local police and you are responsible for following the relevant regulations and data protection laws.
- onethought 2y agoWhat you are suggesting is basically unenforceable. How would you know what’s in a cameras frame? What do the police do with that register? That sounds like it’s just helpful for them. If it’s only a registration and not an approval process? I don’t think you are responsible for data protection laws… like if it’s a ring, that’s amazons problem. I think this is controversial, because how’s it different from me taking a happy snap on my phone and accidently capturing you in the background.
- xorcist 2y agoHow are they similar? One is taking a picture, one is a permanent installation recording every movement in a public area. What country allows citizens to mount private surveillance cameras in public places without a license?
