You absolutely can as an single individual, with that CMOS camera on your person. It's when we start using a networked database to store faces, this is when it should become unlawful IMO.
There's a big difference between a human brain and a vast 24/7 all-seeing database which can identify an individual out of millions of faces.
- jMyles 6y agoThis law effectively prohibits the former while allowing the latter (with the exception for "social networking"). That's the whole problem here. This is so obviously designed for the cops.
- argb 6y agoYes, but without criminalizing individual's right to video recording in public - sometimes this is necessary when you're dealing with bullying or sociopaths (where covert body cameras can be highly effective). Same for exposing animal rights abuses in farm. You want to be gather as much evidence, preferrably video, as you can in those circumstances?
