“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

    Why do you need to be able to record people secretly? How does secretly recording a person keep them honest?

      Think about it this way - if someone pulled out a knife and started stabbing people in public, should people be able to record it without asking the stabber for permission or not?

      In public you have no expectation of privacy…… because you’re in public. Public and private are quite literally the opposite of each other.
