Not inside the US. There is no expectation of privacy when you are in public.
- alkonaut 8y agoNot here either - I can take a photo of anyone in the street. However, I can’t mount a fixed surveillance camera on my house and do the same (for some reason).
- mdorazio 8y agoPlease provide a citation on this.
- alkonaut 8y agoThis is Swedish law (or at least clear authority guidelines). I can’t find an English link but if you absolutely don’t believe me I could translate (but just want to make sure you didn’t think I was talking about US law before I waste that effort :D )
- alkonaut 8y agorelevant passage > "Camera surveillance of a location where the public has access. Permission 8 § Camera surveillance is required for a surveillance camera to be posted so that it can be directed to a place where the public has access." Swedish: http://rkrattsbaser.gov.se/sfst?bet=2013:460 http://rkrattsbaser.gov.se/sfst?bet=2013:460 (poor) translation: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Frkrattsbaser.gov.se%2Fsfst%3Fbet%3D2013%3A460 https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&tl=en&u=h... (In separate guidelines it explicitly mentions the case of home cameras covering public area).
- mdorazio 8y agoAh, ok, I thought you were somewhere in the US, in which case whoever told you you couldn't have an outdoor camera was lying to you. Thanks for clarifying.
