You have no right to not be filmed in public, in the US at least. Someone can already film you with their phone, what makes this any different?

- brisky 3y agoI usually can figure out when I am being filmed by a smartphone and ask people not to do this.
- multjoy 3y agoAnd if they refuse?
- brisky 3y agoThen I can walk away
- falcolas 3y agoSmartphones are the easy ones. It's the surveillance cameras on store fronts, speed cameras/license plate scanners on the poles, and dash cameras you are probably caught the most on. And that's not counting other wearable cameras, such as the Meta RayBans mentioned elsewhere in this conversation.
- JohnFen 3y agoI have every right to object to being surveilled and to avoid/prevent it to the greatest degree I can.
- falcolas 3y agoProbably have to go with "prevent", since avoiding is kinda out of question these days. As they say, that time has passed with cameras everywhere, including mounted on street poles and store fronts. IR LED laden accessories will probably be your best bet.
- JohnFen 3y agoI was just responding to the weird notion that because a thing is legally permissible, we just need to roll over and accept it. Nobody has to do that. Yes, we're being spied on everywhere. But that in no way means that it's pointless to avoid it wherever we can.
