That's correct, which is why the same laws that say you can't just take someone else's computer and do whatever you want with it apply within a company just the same. On a company laptop, you do not have the right to do anything on it without permission from the company.
These are the same laws that also allow surveillance cameras not only within company properties, but even in public.
You do not have the right to privacy when you are not in a private space. This applies to company computers just the same.

In Europe you generally have a graded expectation of privacy that does not disappear the moment you enter the workspace. We recognise that people have needs that are not met if you treat them as automatons. To your surveillance camera point, I live in the UK which is renowned for the number of cameras. If I point a surveillance camera at the sidewalk in front of my house, I'd break the law.

If I point a surveillance camera at the sidewalk in front of my house, I'd break the law. Is this true? So your camera is only allowed to point at your property and nothing else? I don't see how this could possibly be true when you're allowed to take photos in public. Or does the fact the surveillance camera is fixed make a difference?
