“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”
Isn't this all public cameras?
I think the difference that most people overlook, is that she doesn't know. It's a "hidden" camera. If they were holding up a phone or dslr, people would know to get out of the shot if they didn't want to be filmed. Plus, it's Europe, they're probably better about privacy.
100% correct.
Also, Quebec (not sure about anywhere else in the world) has the same kind of laws, so not just Europe.
