That's not accurate. The expectation of privacy is a legal term related to the USA. There's quite a difference in privacy you'd expect. E.g., just because you could see someone doesn't mean it's ok to hang a camera pointing to that place and record everything that's going on. Similarly, I do expect to have privacy in public places. It's weird not to expect that. Cameras have a big privacy impact, just because you could have a security person there doesn't mean that a camera is the same thing.
> I may not like it, but doing it from a public area is perfectly legal
If enough people do not like it the law should be adjusted. Too often the argument is that something is legal. This while people are changing and introducing new laws on a daily basis.
- chrisdhal 6y agoI agree. I'm never said that if enough people don't like it that it shouldn't be changed. I was talking "now". If what somebody is doing "now" is legal, then right "now" there isn't anything you can do about it. I can call the police, they'll either not come because it's legal, or they'll come, maybe talk to the guy, then say to me that he's not doing anything wrong. I'm didn't say I had to like it, just that sometimes there's not much you can do at the moment. There's a distinction.
