I’m not disputing the legality point but I don’t believe you can point to even one person who was jailed for using such a device.
replySo perhaps “face jail time” is not accurate.
Has anyone tried? I had the opportunity but did not pursue it, but someone must be trying to fight it.
replyTried what? Putting someone in jail?
replyGive it time. I am sure the Israelis, the Ukrainians, and the Russians will be world leaders in this type of jamming technology I have a feeling infrared light jamming cameras and sound frequencies beyond human hearing are going to be key components of this new technology. I’m ready, and so is my checkbook.
replyShut up and take my money. Something undetectable, which will make the camera produce smoke and fail permanently.
replyAs a passive sensor, cameras are essentially undetectable at-range and requires a dangerous and likely illegal amount of directed energy to disable or damage.
replyThe proliferation of battlefield EOTS has made this sort of system a real priority, but we have no anti-radiation defenses against passive sensors. It's likely that a civilian system in that vein will never exist, let alone a military option.
Given the overall trend, jamming may become illegal. Give it time.
replyJamming is illegal already.
replySadly that's not the case, or at least not in Germany. A judge actually refused to block the sale of the glasses because it was considered that the LED were sufficient warning. Sure, you can still use them covertly and releasing material often requires a waiver, but that's true of smartphones too.
replyThere's a case right now (brought forward by the HateAid organization) arguing that these types of glasses should be forbidden, but I'm not optimistic that they'll succeed.
plain and simple, we are talking about obscured/hidden cameras, period.
replyit doesnt matter if its behind a pinhole, mounted on a badge, or crammed in a pair of glasses, its all the same.
Expected an anti nuisance streamer app by now. Just playing ad reels and copyrighted music above and below human hearing levels. Since algo bots will usually scan that high/low and bury videos for whatever is considered an infraction.
replyPeople in Europe install surveillance cameras all over and threaten with the police when you tell them you don't consent being recorded. When you go to the police reporting the cameras, the police tells you to get a lawyer and open a civil case.
replySo on the contrary I'd say... you want cameras? We'll go all in.
you cant go to the lawyer either; their brother sells the cameras XD
replyThe brother is also retired policeman. After your visit at the police station your house is added to their "favourite playlist".
replyDepends which Europe, I know its popular US view to treat us as 1 monolithic country but we are anything but that. In Switzerland for example its strictly forbidden to record people privately without their consent, and good luck dealing with Swiss police on spot, they are not that kind to such assholism.
