Which is why this is illegal in a lot of jurisdictions (if you can see outside of your own yard).
- bityard 3y agoWhich jurisdictions? In the US, at least, you can legally film anything and anyone from your own property, and from public property like roads, sidewalks, parks, etc.
- vetinari 3y agoEU (see comment above).
- vetinari 3y agoIn some jurisdictions even worse: not just outside your own yard, but also publicly-available parts of your own yard (i.e. in front of a gate or fence, or specifically separated areas available to wandering members of public).
- turtlebits 3y agoIf it's publicly available, it isn't part of your yard.

- zo1 3y agoThis is all done by government to effectively disempower the citizens from doing things themselves or in any sort of cooperative manner (even if provably safe etc etc). Oddly enough they turn around and then refuse to protect the citizens from such petty crime. I'm starting to think it's all a giant "bullshit" test to see how far they can push people's obedience. Or they end up conveniently filtering out the people they don't act obedient to the level of filter they've set with their stupid laws and non-enforcement of existing ones like theft.
- tjoff 3y agoUh? Is privacy really such a strange concept?
- eternityforest 3y agoThey're banning technology mostly because someone could use it for evil, or they believe that's a likely use, or because some people want to create a new level of expectation of privacy that didn't previously seem to exist, at least not that I noticed. CCTV was everywhere for years, and it didn't seem like most of the general public had any issues. It's not like people want to put up telescope cams into your bathroom, I think most people would be very against that. Meanwhile they try to take encryption and anonymity tech away from citizens, in those same exact places.
