Government? Most of these camera owners weren't government.


Maybe I should have clarified because it seems obvious. In my country you can't point a camera at anything that isn't your property. Which means you can't point it in a way that you can see your neighbours, or on a public street. You're not being filmed or recorded at all times and if you are, you know exactly who is doing it. This is properly enforced in almost all cases exept highways, some public libraries and entrances of public/gov buildings. Tracking is still pervasive and slowly creeping up.


Isn't 'pointing at' little nebulous. I may have setup my camera to point at my backyard, but some portion of neighbor's yard may showup in the corner. If I adjust the camera to eliminate this neighbor's yard then the other one's creeps into the view from other side.

For the both the situation my camera is squarely 'pointed at' the center of my backyard.


What country is that?


Netherlands


I wonder about the enforcement. I see Ring video doorbells popping up in lotsa places that are clearly filming public streets. Maybe enforcement is slow, or only happens after someone reports a violation.
