I don’t think it should be legal to film people without consent (even if it isn’t live), but it probably is in most cases
What is? Live street cameras?
Someone put up a webcam and is streaming it on youtube. I just find it uncomfortable that a random person can put up a camera and show live feed of a steet to an audience on social media. Some people are also willing to pay for that
Many cities have that. In fact, streams from ukranian cities were used for various purposes last year
Yes, this is legal, at least in most jurisdictions. In public, anyone can film you, including police (who can be also filmed, as much as they don’t like to admit). However, if they wish to re-broadcast your image, they must get your written consent or blur your face.
If the camera was pointed at someone’s bedroom, that would be illegal, as you are guaranteed a ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’ in your private residence.
This applies to the US. In Europe people are not allowed to even film you without your consent, nor are they allowed to film your front door like they do in the US all the time.
I think it’s sort of a legal grey area. You have sites like insecam.org who display unprotected IP cams from around the world. They don’t select them IIRC and you can report shady cams to moderators.
But they do sometimes display peoples’ homes and stuff.
