>> they are in public places. Places where anyone can film you at any time. > Except when they're pointing at your private property. My understanding in the UK is that (apart from some "special buildings") if I'm on public land (eg a road) I can film anything visible from that spot, even if it is your private property. Edit: Have just realised that we're talking about CCTV cameras rather than me romping around taking photos with my camera. With regard to CCTV, I believe it has to be properly signposted with contact details, but I'd have to go read up again before I could properly comment.

This is my understanding too. Before EU human rights were written into law in 1998 there wasn't even anything providing a "right to privacy" and it's still not completely clear. http://findlaw.co.uk/law/z_articles-for-carousel/500284.html http://findlaw.co.uk/law/z_articles-for-carousel/500284.html The libel laws on the other hand are quite strong, so filming someone privately in their own home and publishing it could land you in trouble with those.
