  Making picture in public of others is alreasy not allowed under GDPR,

  So much for all the security cameras.

  bullshit excuses people like you are using

  People like you need to get your heads out of your own asses an look around at the real world, as it is today, and contemplate for a moment where it is inevitably going. Bitching about how improper video recording is on internet forums is likely to achieve exactly nothing against the commercial interests who will continue to make and sell the technology.

  You are already no allowed to have a camera watching the public streeth

  Unless you are the police running a traffic enforcement camera, no?

    Depends, if you have a security camera on your own yard it is legal, but if it films the sidewalk it is illegal.

    Bitching about things like unlawful camera use is exactly how things like the GDPR get enforced. A lot of people don’t even know that it isn’t allowed.

    Heck the police will still use your camera if it is filming the road. They cannot use it as evidence, but it can help them in their investigation. FIlming cars is fine, but it is hard to fil the cars without filiming the people walking or cycling. There is also a balance that needs to be struck between privacy and being able to find/monitor actual criminals.

      It’s still a very new area, will continue to be debated and evolve over time. What we think is “ideal” today will not be what people think is “ideal” in 20 years.

        True and ofc, but GDPR iirc isn´t completely new, it is built ont op of other privacy laws from different countries.
