Video Surveillance Laws

Video surveillance laws regulate how and when individuals or organizations can use cameras to monitor public or private spaces. Generally, it is legal to record in public areas where there is no expectation of privacy, like streets or parks. However, private spaces (like homes or restrooms) require consent from individuals being recorded. Laws vary by location, so it's essential to understand local regulations, especially regarding informing people about surveillance and data protection. Violating these laws can lead to legal consequences, emphasizing the balance between security needs and individuals' privacy rights.
