That only applies if you aren’t recording audio as well.
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”.
In my state for instance it is also illegal to be able to see license plates from personally owned security cameras
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.
Why do so many people on Lemmy just really need a “gotcha”?
You were so confident that you were correct that you brazenly posted something that contradicted your misinformation without reading it.


I’m not saying I agree with it, but this is the actual meaning of the word:

The term jailbait existed long before the subreddit and is used to refer to underage girls that are sexually attractive, therefore they are “baiting” you to go to jail by having sex with them.
Oh, and the posts on the subreddit were non-nude photos of underage girls the posters thought were attractive. It was very gross.
