> Any form of systematic surveillance is prohibited. So recording anything that happens in front of the lens - without any other primary purpose - is classified as surveillance activity. This activity is reserved for the state.
- lazide 3y agoWow, not dystopian at all. I figured it was some way to try to prevent some kind of stasi like surveillance at all, but it just makes it more official. :s
- LorenPechtel 3y agoYeah, there are various European countries that prohibit security cameras of all types. They are nuts as far as I'm concerned.
- janosdebugs 3y agoImagine this: suppose there is a big company called Nile that sells a door security camera called Ding. This security camera happens to upload everything to the company servers. Since it is very popular, it has a huge coverage. If there are no restrictions on surveiling public ground, Nile could engage in all sorts of things, like tracking cars with license plates, etc. That's why Europe places restrictions on this sort of stuff. You can still use a Ding, but it can only point at your private property and you have to inform people who may enter your property that it's being recorded.
