I live in a neighborhood, when I walk the dogs, I care for, on public roadway & public grass areas in-front of everyone’s property, I am video recorded (without any control of my image, customers of the cams & the cams’ service providers have access to my image & there are websites broadcasting the videos submitted) by almost every single neighbor’s Cam(s) at each of their gates.
These type of privacy violation(s), that have become so everywhere in The USA, UK, China & Etc., are they problems in EU, Scandinavian Countries & Denmark?
I can’t speak for all. But in Norway it’s illegal to have a doorbell camera that records the street.
It’s also very limited for police to set up recording cameras. They need to serve a special purpose. So you will have some in city centres and places where there’s a lot of people, for crime prevention.
In general the right to personal data is extremely well protected under law. Both offline and online
Sweden is more generous with cameras but they’re still not allowed to be used however you like. If they still are used for nefarious purposes, who knows, but it has to be said that you’ll still mostly find them around city centers or in areas to keep crime down. Not that I necessarily agree with using them like that!
Thank you, for person that understands that Cams. in public, no matter in high crime city areas or not! It most of the time just violates our born into Rights, including Right Privacy.
I do believe that there’s a balance that has to be found between privacy and safety. I also believe public security cameras are mostly there to look like they keep people safe, while doing far wider damage to privacy.
People need space to be themselves without being watched, too. It’s good for personal development and individuality.
BINGO!
That is good read about a Scandinavian country of Norway! Not completely enough, but light-years better than The USA is experiencing.
