What is a licensed security camera?

By this logic, are you saying cameras on private property, that happen to capture public space in their frame are also illegal?

Of course it is. Is this controversial anywhere? I would expect surveillance cameras to be regulated in most parts of the world, certainly around Europe. In the Netherlands I believe you need to register such cameras with the local police and you are responsible for following the relevant regulations and data protection laws.

What you are suggesting is basically unenforceable. How would you know what’s in a cameras frame?

What do the police do with that register? That sounds like it’s just helpful for them. If it’s only a registration and not an approval process?

I don’t think you are responsible for data protection laws… like if it’s a ring, that’s amazons problem.

I think this is controversial, because how’s it different from me taking a happy snap on my phone and accidently capturing you in the background.

How are they similar? One is taking a picture, one is a permanent installation recording every movement in a public area.

What country allows citizens to mount private surveillance cameras in public places without a license?
