I understand your pov but I feel it's misplaced. You are in public in a vehicle. You are in public on a side walk. The same laws that have been used to record police are the same being used here. You have no expectation of privacy in public and if you are seen or recorded breaking a law that is on you.
About that...
I don't think you understand my point. It's been made clear the First Amendment applies to filming anyone, including police, in public. Any policies that try to bypass that will be destroyed in court. Those same rules apply to all of us as well.
We can absolutely be recorded in public.
The post I responded to indicated the US and UK. Of course I know that we never invaded and subjugated the English. Clearly I was talking about the US, so ya got me. Pat yourself on the back.
Just because someone is in public doesn't mean that they need to be under 24/7 surveillance by big brother. Isn't England already infested with security cameras? The US is pretty lousy with them in some places and if I knew they were actively watching me I'd make a habit of breaking them, not praise them for helping to overpolice every square inch of the country
