Comment

Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns.

that’s fine, if you only use it on private roads. but if not, you are recording plenty of people (even not counting drivers) who did not consent to being recorded.
then who knows what happens with the recordings. and that’s the actual problem.

too bad its not enforced.

Speaking as someone from the US, consent is not required to record someone in public.

“There is no responsible expectation of privacy while in public.”

If you don’t want to be recorded by people at random, stay home.

    It’s the same in most of Europe afaik. You can’t be filmed as a primary subject without consent. For example, I can photograph you in the background of a monument or in nature, without having to ask your consent.
    It’s the same for dashcams, you are filming the road primarily not the pedestrian.

    To be fair, if you’re intentionally only filming one specific person, I’m sure they could claim harassment at some point. Maybe public disturbance or nuisance?
