  • You chastises me for telling you are free to go somewhere else yet in the next sentence wish to restrict my rights and my hobby in a public space because you don’t wish to be recorded.

    There’s a saying where everyone’s rights only extend until it infringes upon that of others. here you can’t record me in public without my written permission, just as I can’t record you. Similarly:

    If I was in a public park recording the trees or birds or the sick looking car in the parking lot, I should have the right to do so and not be hindered by you because you don’t want me to.

    you can take photos all you want until unconsenting people are not visible on it. you have the right to take photos. until it infringes upon the basic human right to privacy of others. here in Europe people have more rights than just being allowed to stay silent.

    Did you know NOAA ( https://www.noaa.gov/ )and NWS (https://www.weather.gov/ ) make their information public and

    what? are you arguing that the weather has a right to privacy??

    Did you know you can view and monitor the most of the world’s shipping traffic?

    The same goes for air traffic.

    that’s just commercial entities… no private information is exposed there. for air traffic, right there are private jets, but like public servants, that should just be an additional category of people who have less rights because of their power to keep in check. also the way air traffic coordination works it cannot really be restricted.

    If these cameras go up I want them to be accessible to everyone

    if. but better they just not go up, but instead, down.

    As I stated I am conflicted about the whole thing.

    you know, somewhat me too. like the court room recordings. but I would only want it released if I agree to it, and otherwise there can still be written transcripts, redacted from private info at the few points where needed. but only if the person is not a public servant or otherwise wielding a lot of power (e.g. through highly outstanding wealth).

    If they exist I want them open for unrestricted public use like say GPS.

    yeah but the way GPS works, it does not expose any information about the user. devices just receive precise timestamp and sat constellation info, GPS itself does not send any information.

    Sorry for long post.

    it was not that long!





  • But I also think you have no expectations of privacy in public.

    yes I do. we are not going outside the house to become some kind of an actor. we also cannot just “go away”, avoid some places because either that’s where we live, where we work, or where we need to pass to travel between these places. but I guess it is easy to tell the “problematic” people to just go way.

    I like pulling up traffic cameras and others local places cameras to see if cool things are going on.

    “you should have no expectations of privacy in public because I want to watch if something cool happens on a traffic camera”

    maybe go play sims if you want to behave like some god, watching peoples lives who did not consent to it, but you could also just watch some fucked up reality show on TV

    maybe it was a bit harsh, sorry for that, but I don’t know how to get the point across with better words.
