What country? I’m sure there’s exceptions that you don’t know about, the laws don’t disallow their use, it’s in how the data is stored normally.

A lot of it depends on if your state is single party or not.
Also you need to chill.

That applies to audio… not video recordings mate.
atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago

Your link completely refutes what you’re saying lol
Maybe try reading it next time “compliance expert”

That only applies if you aren’t recording audio as well.
The article is just a general overview of specifically Ring cameras and not specific to any one state or other recording devices. In my state for instance it is also illegal to be able to see license plates from personally owned security cameras, though we have Flock cameras here so yeah…
Why do so many people on Lemmy just really need a “gotcha”?

Reasonable expectation of privacy applies to video recording, audio recording, and still photography. You can be in a public space having a private conversation if you can reasonably expect no one would be able to hear it, but you can’t have a conversation in front of a plainly visible surveillance camera and then claim you were being eavesdropped on. You don’t even truly need to “consent” to being recorded, you just have to have knowledge that it is happening.
That’s also not what you said, your original comment was “it’s not legal to have a video camera pointed at the street”.
I’d love to see a law on the books anywhere that says this. License plates do not have more rights than people. By “compliance expert” did you actually mean that you’re a cop? Usually cops are the ones going around spreading legal misinformation like this.
You were so confident that you were correct that you brazenly posted something that contradicted your misinformation without reading it.
