huh? people in public can be recorded without their consent. that's what being in public is.

Yeah, but usually you know you're being recorded because you can see the recording device. I think it's fair to film in public, but not secretly.

I'm not even legally allowed to aim a camera doorbell to the street

in the USA basically every third home as a doorbell camera these days. you are constantly being recorded everywhere you go, at least in urban areas. anytime i walk my dog at night everyone's doorbell cams are lighting up.
