Which is why every European country except Germany has dozens of cameras on every corner?
- ceejayoz 9y agoThose corners would be public spaces, right?
- g-b-r 9y agoYou have a messed-up idea of privacy, there can be various degrees of it and having a few people see you in a certain place at a certain time has a slightly different impact than having someone (potentially) analyze what you do in a large amount of your life, even if that happens in "public spaces". I know your idea is the same as that of the USA law, but that really doesn't make it right
- SamBoogieNYC 9y agoThis is simply false
- kbart 9y agoBut (at least in most countries) these records are only available to police and with written request, one by one basis.
- g-b-r 9y agoor to anyone connected to the internet
- kbart 9y agoYou can't leave unprotected access by law, because you, as a camera owner, are responsible for personal information stored as a record. If you talking about hacking, I wouldn't worry too much -- anything can be hacked and there are much more cost effective ways to obtain personal information in millions than hacking cameras one-by-one.
- g-b-r 9y agoYou can't leave unprotected access by law Yeah, nice theory :) --- I wouldn't worry/care about individual hackers, but even if you have complete trust in everyone who has or will have legal access there are a lot of organizations for which hacking cameras one-by-one (even if hacking is actually needed) is well worth the effort.
- g-b-r 9y agoDo you have any substantiation of "except Germany"?
