Big Brother just got an upgrade.
Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.
One step closer to total surveillance.

Pretty sure you can record and photograph people from public spaces without seeking consent here (UK) because there's no reasonable expectation of privacy.
You maybe can record as an individual, but you can't put up a camera that records while you're not there.
people assume you cant do it in Cali, BECAUSE they passed a wierd law, but it isnt entirely true that you can record in any form. i think public is an exception.
