Blah, blah, blah
Hey, I admitted that Newsome got 1 thing right. That does not mean he can't be criticized on all the shit he fucks up or is that too complicated for your liberal brain?
I won't take any lectures from YOU of all people about straw men.
You are the person I am "looking for" because you are a liberal, which is why you defend virtually every liberal thing I mention.
Blah, blah, blah
More word games to justify your crack whore stance on not giving a fuck about legal and human rights for people but losing your rag when your BFF Newsome passes a law against a business.
You are just fucking clueless about privacy rights in the US and the UK, even before Brexit.
In the US, you generally have no right to privacy in public. However, according to SCOTUS, you have the right to privacy in a public bathroom and other areas that a reasonable person would expect privacy.
In places like bathrooms (public or private), there is an expectation of privacy. This includes any type of recording (photo, video, audio).
Photos and video recordings allow for less privacy than audio recording, in general.
You do not have the right to actively record someone else's phone call that you are not a party to, in the general sense. If you accidentally catch some of it as you're walking by, then that wouldn't violate the SCOTUS ruling.
You have to create your expectation of privacy, in public. Say you are at an internet cafe and you walk away from your laptop and someone walks by and looks at the screen, that's on you. If you close the laptop when you walk away, no one has the right to open it to have a look. This came from a case where a cop left his car-mounted laptop was left open and a passerby looked at it through the window and was arrested. If you ever watch "audit" videos, they mention this SCOTUS ruling.
Likewise with conversations in public. If you are being loud and shouty, you can't expect to not be heard and/or recorded.
Everything I said, does not apply to warrants and other legal measures.
